The BKK group has 1 000 employees and an annual turnover of NOK 2,7 billion. One of the group’s main business areas is power generation. BKK generates power at 28 power stations and has an average annual production of 6 500 GWh. This makes BKK the fifth largest power producer in Norway.

BKK holds shares in several companies in Western Norway. One of those is Fjordkraft, Norway’s largest supplier of electrical power to private and business customers. BKK will through mergers and acquisitions create a broadly based Western Norwegian company that will also have resources for further development.
