The green shift
A part of Eqva
Environmentally, hydropower is considered superior to many other forms of energy production
Clean Energy Production: Hydropower generates electricity by harnessing the energy of flowing water, and therefore, it produces no direct emissions of greenhouse gases during the actual production process.
Low Carbon Footprint: Although there are some environmental impacts associated with the construction of dams and reservoirs, hydropower projects generally have a lower carbon footprint compared to fossil fuels like coal and oil.
Predictable and Reliable: Hydropower is a reliable and predictable source of energy. It can be adjusted quickly according to demand, and it also provides storage capacity in the form of water reservoirs.
Long Lifespan: Hydropower plants often have a long lifespan, providing a reliable energy supply over several decades.
Renewable Resource: Water is a renewable resource, and as long as sustainable management practices are followed, hydropower can be a long-term and sustainable source of energy.
Small-scale hydropower which do not involve regulation/damming of rivers result in fewer disruptions in nature, and are as such even more environmentally friendly than other types of hydropower

Note: 1) Plants under operations- and maintenance agreement with Downing. 2) Skjeggfoss and Haugsvær plants are developed under "take-off" agreement with Downing. Other projects in the pipeline has potential for Fossberg Kraft ownership. 3) Projects where there is a signed contract regarding acquisition of rights or physical assets - to be developed towards decision to start construction. 4) Projects which have been analyzed with regards to production/hydrology and financials, inspected and considered ready for offer/contract negotiations. Targeting projects with capacity > 5 GWh/year.

Strategic priorities for long term value creation
Continue close collaboration with key partner, Downing
Downing is committed to invest in renewable energy and is a strong financial partner for Fossberg Kraft.
With the "take-off" agreement, Downing buys the finished plant for a price agreed before construction starts. The project is fully financed by a prepayment from Downing and construction loan. Fossberg Kraft profits off the project margin. After the plant is sold, Fossberg Kraft receives a management fee from Downing on a monthly basis for operational services.
Develop projects or purchase plants to own and produce
With or without new strategic partners, Fossberg Kraft is positioned to develop projects or purchase plants to own for long term value creation.
If the plant is owned by Fossberg Kraft, the company runs maintenance and operations internally, and income is determined by production volume and price agreements.
Explore potential within other types of renewable energy sources
There is significant potential related to solar power. Fossberg Kraft is actively pursuing such opportunities and has agreed with a landowner to assess development of a ~1 MW plant.
The company is also assessing the opportunity to use solar power to increase production at existing hydropower plants and upcoming development projects. Improved resource utilization is achieved by using the same core infrastructure.
