History

Fjordkraft AS was founded on 1 April 2001 with the ambition of becoming a leading company in the sale of electricity to the end-user market. Since the outset, the company has striven to increase national competition in the end-user market, introduce forward-looking, customer-friendly solutions, and ensure a level playing field for all the players in the industry. The company was founded as a result of a merger between the power trading operations of BKK Kraftsalg AS and Skagerak Energi. The name Fjordkraft was adopted on 1 June 2001.

Through the IPO of Fjordkraft in 2018, Fjordkraft Holding ASA was established. In April 2022 the name was changed to Elmera Group ASA to avoid confusion with its subsidiary Fjordkraft AS. Skagerak Energi sold all their remaining shares in May 2020, while BKK sold all their remaining shares in January 2021.

Klimanjaro and www.klimahub.no

At the UN climate conference in Katowice in 2018, Fjordkraft’s “Klimanjaro” climate initiative was chosen as one of the winners of the UN’s Momentum for Change climate action award for 2018. Fjordkraft was the first Norwegian company to win this award. Klimanjaro won the award in the Climate Neutral Now category. Through Klimanjaro, the Elmera Group promises that all suppliers of goods and services to Fjordkraft are climate commited. The reduction in emissions the Group achieves via its suppliers is 100 times greater than the company’s own emissions. Suppliers must produce climate accounts, take action and offset their residual emissions.

In January 2020 Fjordkraft launched the Klimahub.no web portal. Klimahub.no is a portal where users can check Norwegian companies’ climate footprints, produce corporate climate accounts and invite partners to help create a climate committed value chain.
