Does Oslo need better energy management?

To continue the electrification of these sectors, Oslo needs better energy planning and management to ensure that the city has sufficient grid capacity and alternative energy sources to fulfil the transition. Energy management is needed at both the micro level – construction site or charging station – and the macro level – city and region.

How will the port of Oslo help reduce energy consumption?

The Port of Oslo also uses drones to search for waste. Port of Oslo will establish a monitoring system to get a better overview of energy consumption. This will help raise awareness and identify measures to reduce consumption.
