Statkraft inngår avtale med FREYR Battery for langsiktig forsyning av fornybar energi

Del

(New York, Oslo og Luxembourg, 25. mai 2022) Statkraft, Europas største produsent av fornybar energi har inngått en bindende prinsippavtale med FREYR Battery (NYSE: FREY) (“FREYR”), en utvikler av ren, neste-generasjons produksjonskapasitet for battericeller. Prinsippavtalen ventes å bli ferdigstilt som en langsiktig kraftkjøpsavtale (PPA), med sikte på å sikre langsiktig forsyning av fornybar energi til globalt konkurransedyktige vilkår for FREYRs planlagte battericellefabrikker i Mo i Rana, Norge.

Avtalen og tilknyttede energitjenester levert av Statkraft, anslås å dekke hele det forventede strømbehovet i perioden 2024-2031 og sikre fysisk leveranse av kraft fra sentralnettet i Mo i Rana til FREYRs pilotfabrikk og den første planlagte gigafabrikken. Statkraft forplikter seg til å levere inntil 23 MW grunnlast med et samlet volum i kontraktsperioden på 1,4 TWh, sammen med opprinnelsesgarantier som dokumenterer at kraften kommer fra Statkrafts vannkraftproduksjon i regionen.

- Vår ambisjon er å lage rene battericeller og et sentralt element i vår strategi er å produsere med fornybar energi. Denne avtalen med Statkraft sikrer at våre produksjonsanlegg i Mo i Rana får en jevn, langsiktig forsyning av vannkraft fra lokale kilder og holder vårt karbonavtrykk på et minimum når vi går over i full drift, sier Tove Nilsen Ljungquist, EVP Operations i FREYR.

- Statkraft bidrar til det grønne skiftet ved å levere fornybar kraft til eksisterende kunder og nye industriaktører over hele verden. Vi er glade for å bidra til etableringen av FREYRs battericelleanlegg i Nord-Norge, som muliggjør grønne arbeidsplasser og bruk av lokale kraftressurser. Sammen med fleksibel vannkraft er batterier helt avgjørende for å nå målene om netto nullutslipp, sier EVP Market & IT i Statkraft, Hallvard Granheim.

Ifølge prinsippavtalen skal Rana vannkraftverk forsyne FREYRs fabrikker med fornybar energi. Kraftverket er 100% eid av Statkraft med en kapasitet på 500 MW og en årlig produksjon på cirka 2 150 GWh. Nærheten mellom vannkraftverket og FREYRs planlagte produksjonsanlegg i Mo i Rana er i tråd med FREYRs ambisjon om å etablere virksomhet i områder med god lokal tilgang på ren energi.

C.K. McWhorter Slams Nelson Peltz For Attempting To Ruin Disney's Luxury Essence and Visionary Future29.3.2024 15:23:03 CET | Press release

PALM BEACH, Fla., March 29, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- McWhorter, the luminary investor with an eye for luxury, delivers a blistering retort to Nelson Peltz's antiquated views, revealing his profound misunderstanding of Disney's status as a pinnacle of luxury and innovation. With surgical precision, McWhorter exposes Peltz's detachment from diverse communities and insular worldview, highlighting the glaring gap between Peltz's outdated mindset and Disney's forward-thinking ethos. "At 81 years old, Nelson Peltz's understanding of luxury seems frozen in time, much like the era in which he was born," McWhorter declares. "His failure to grasp the true essence of Disney as a luxury brand underscores his limited exposure to diverse perspectives and his residence within the protective bubble of privilege." In a scathing indictment of Peltz's remarks, McWhorter dismantles the notion that Disney's inclusive storytelling is incompatible with luxury, asserting that diversity and representation are

McWhorter Foundation Combats Nelson Peltz’s Outdated Ideologies and Advocates for Sustainable Inclusivity In Corporate Leadership29.3.2024 06:59:56 CET | Press release

PALM BEACH, Calif., March 29, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- C.K. McWhorter, chairman of the McWhorter Foundation, voices concerns over outdated perspectives in corporate leadership, exemplified by recent remarks from Nelson Peltz regarding Disney's film direction. After encountering instances of racism and exclusivity on Town of Palm Beach Island (known as home to Jeffrey Epstein, Nelson Peltz and others), McWhorter reflects on the disconnect between elite boardroom discussions and the realities faced by diverse communities. While briefly meeting Nelson Peltz and shaking hands after both departed separate lunches, McWhorter initially respected his insights. However, recent comments made by Peltz suggesting Disney should avoid inclusive films have raised eyebrows and prompted McWhorter to speak out.
