Focus on Vårgrønn
Vårgrønn was established in November 2020 as a joint venture between the global energy company Plenitude, a renewable energy company controlled by Eni, and the Norwegian energy entrepreneur and investor HitecVision. Vårgrønn has offices in Stavanger, the energy capital of Norway, Oslo and London. We became Norway’s largest dedicated offshore wind company in October 2022 following the acquisition of a 20% stake in Dogger Bank, the world’s largest offshore wind farm currently under construction.
