Nexans Norway AS
Cable installation in Lofoten in 1961
For more than eighty years, Nexans Norway AS – formerly Standard Telefon og Kabelfabrik AS (STK) – has been the principal supplier of power cables in Norway. These eight decades have seen enormous development of the country´s hydropower resources. Today, Norway´s consumption of electricity per capita is higher than that of any other country in the world. Most of the hydro-electric power stations are located in the mountains, whereas the main centres of population are in the lowland and coastal regions.
