The energy transition in Vestland
Vestland is at the forefront of Norway’s energy transition, aiming to become a leading producer of renewable energy by leveraging its abundant natural resources – hydropower, wind, ocean energy, and bioenergy – and future-proofing its energy security.
Through its regional renewable energy plan (2023–2035), Vestland seeks to ensure power balance, secure energy supply, and develop robust infrastructure to support local industries and green innovation.
Green Region Vestland plays a pivotal role in this transformation. As a partnership between Vestland County and Innovation Norway, it coordinates the collaboration between 19 industrial, energy and biomass hubs. These hubs promote industrial symbiosis, shared infrastructure, and joint solutions to common challenges such as energy access, capital, competence, and land availability.
By connecting businesses, research, and public actors, Green Region Vestland is driving Vestland toward becoming a competitive, sustainable, and innovative green energy region.
Our stories from Vestland
Energy security lessons from Norway
Enlit brought together Norway’s politicians, armed forces and industry experts in Bergen to discover what the country can teach Europe about energy security. We learned that “it takes a whole society to defend ourselves”, how decentralisation is critical, and why “the green transition is still on in Europe” because of energy sovereignty.
Energy sector meetup in Bergen
Enlit on the Road, in partnership with the Vestland County Council and Green Region Vestland, hosted a one-day conference to explore energy security and sustainability. Using practical solutions and real-world examples, the speakers explored various topics such as generation mix optimisation, the green transformation of industry, and how we can achieve Northern European energy security.

The Energy Park
The Energy Park is a unique location where existing energy infrastructure, new climate solutions, and industrial experience come together. The park is located close to some of the most important energy and carbon infrastructure in Norway, including the country’s largest natural gas processing facility and Northern Lights, the world’s first open-access commercial facility for receiving captured CO₂.
