Powering the Future: Gnist Energi Acquires Wind Farm in Rogaland Norway
We’re excited to announce two key milestones in our journey to unlock more value from renewable energy infrastructure across the Nordics
Our strategy
Gnist Energi unlocks additional value from Nordic renewable infrastructure — by combining wind, battery storage, and digital trading in one scalable platform.
We acquire and upgrade real assets to:
- Boost output
- Monetize flexibility
- Deliver strong, long-term returns
Our platform is built for:
- Investors seeking cash-flowing infrastructure
- Asset owners navigating volatile markets
- Grids and industries demanding resilience and control
From fragmented assets to structured, scalable energy infrastructure.
Gnist Energi transforms undervalued wind and flexibility assets into investable platforms — by owning control, improving performance, and structuring for scale.
We operate through two dedicated arms:
Gnist Wind
- We acquire sub-scale wind farms
- Upgrade them with co-located storage
- Unlock value through bundling and hybrid optimization
Gnist Battery
- We co-develop scalable battery projects
- Standalone or hybrid
- With institutional and industrial partners
- Revenue is stacked across grid services
- Trading and co-location
Our platform integrates:
- Ownership – We acquire and control the assets
- Operations – We manage performance, hybridize, and optimize
- Structuring – We convert overlooked projects into investable infrastructure
- Scaling – We bundle SPVs into platforms, unlocking value on exit
