We’re proud to see Statnett, Norway’s national transmission system operator, share their experiences using Laki Power’s rugged, self-powered monitoring systems in T&D World.

In the article, Arild Berstad, senior engineer at Statnett, details the severe icing challenges faced by power lines in Norway’s mountainous terrain—some of the harshest in the world. To manage this, Statnett turned to real-time, remote line monitoring solutions that withstand extreme winter weather.

Laki Power’s technology helps Statnett enhance grid reliability in conditions where traditional systems fall short. With real-world deployments like this, we’re seeing how self-powered monitoring stations play a vital role in maintaining safe and efficient electricity transmission in even the most extreme environments.
