Description
In this on-site episode from grid operator Tensio’s control centre in Stjørdal, we sit down with CEO Audhild Kvam to unpack one of the green transition’s biggest chokepoints: limited grid capacity.
Together we explore:
How smarter planning and flexible consumption can unlock idle capacity for batteries, hydrogen and heavy transport
What it takes to connect new industry when 100+ projects are already in the queue
The policy tweaks and market signals that could turn today’s “capacity crunch” into tomorrow’s competitive edge for Norway
Whether you’re an energy nerd, a policymaker, or just curious why electrification keeps hitting the same bottleneck, this conversation lights the way forward.
