Participation in the professional meeting Smakraftdagane in Norway

Following a two-year break due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Smakraftdagane expert meeting, one of the key meetings for the Norway hydropower program, finally took place in Bergen.

This year even a larger number of participants visited the expert meeting compared to the previous years – a total of 55 exhibitors and 240 delegates. Some of the largest power plants in the region were present at the event, with some of the exhibiting turbine manufacturers already the GIM’s partners.

During the expert meeting, the GIM held meetings with our business partners and customers, the potential ones, and established several new contacts. We came to know that several hydropower plants are planned to be renewed, in addition to the construction of new small hydropower plants.

The photos of Končar generators were displayed at the GIM booth, but also on two other exhibitor’s booths, namely the SHPP Torsnes and SHPP Rasdalen, proving the product quality and customers’ satisfaction.

The conference main theme and topics were the grants of concessions for the construction of SHPP, the investments planned in the future given the high price of power, the future of renewable energy sources, sustainability of the supply chain with the expected suppliers’ contribution to progressive improvement, digitalization expected to reduce maintenance costs up to 55%, etc.
