Statkraft is currently involved in 9 wind farm projects in the UK, and the London office is the Statkraft Group’s spearhead for further business opportunities in the UK.

Statkraft UK Ltd is a subsidiary of Statkraft AS. The office was opened in January 2006 and the company established in March 2006. The office is located in Hammersmith in London.

The UK in itself, as well as the organisation of the electrical system, is favourable for renewable energy. All major political parties show a long term commitment to renewable energy, something that has resulted in the continued support for the Renewable Obligation Certificate system (ROC).  The ROC system makes wind farms feasible and has led to a vast number of sites in planning across the UK. Scotland and coastal areas around the kingdom have the best wind speeds, comparable to the wind speed in coastal areas of Norway.
