| POWER cluster project kick-off meeting in Stavanger
|
|
 Stavanger is known as the Norwegian oil capital, but in September 2008 the city on the south-western coast of Norway set the scene for an offshore wind energy event when the 18 partners met to kick-off the POWER cluster project.
From 22nd to 23rd September the Norwegian project partner [Greater Stavanger] kindly hosted a two-day POWER cluster project kick-off meeting where the consortium fine-tuned the road map for the four project work streams which will be completed over the next three years.
POWER cluster partners in front of the Norwegian Petroleum Museum
As an inspiring input to the meeting Kjell Olav Skjølsvik from Enova a public enterprise owned by the Royal Norwegian Ministry of Petroleum and Energy, gave a presentation on the potential for offshore wind in Norway. This was followed by a presentation on existing offshore wind activities in Norway by Stig M. Svalheim from Lyse Energy and Telecommunication which is owned by 16 municipalities in the Rogaland County.
 The kick-off meeting also offered the project partners an opportunities to network and display their innovative and creative skills during a team building session at the Norwegian Petroleum Museum. For An hour and a half the partners split up into four groups to design and build wind turbines from wood and metal, which had to be able to power a light. Although only three teams succeeded in generating electricity, all four teams showed great team spirit and ingenuity!
