Statnett is a Norwegian state-owned enterprise responsible for owning, operating and constructing the stem power grid in Norway.

Statnett also owns 30% of the Nord Pool Spot along with other Nordic transmission system operators.

[2] There are plans to upgrade the western grid from 300 to 420 kV at a cost of 8 billion NOK,[3] partly to accommodate cables[4] to Germany[5] and England.

Statnett also participates in the NORD.LINK and North Sea Link projects (proposed submarine cables to Germany and England, respectively).

In 1986 NVE was split in an operation company, Statskraftverkene and a directorate, Norges vassdrags- og energidirektorat.
