Summer Project 2020: Explore new business opportunities within the space of Electric Vehicle charging

Are you interested in spending your summer making a carbon free future possible, and would you enjoy designing new opportunities in the energy transition?

We are proud to present our annual summer project 2020, which provides the opportunity to come up with new ideas and business models that will contribute to a carbon free future. As a summer intern you will be working in a diverse and multidisciplinary team of 6-8 students. You can expect responsibility from day one, with close follow up from designated and motivated mentors. Our summer students are highly qualified employees and you will actively contribute to the further development and growth of Statkraft. We encourage students with a curious and creative mind to apply!

This summer we invite students to develop new ideas for our EV charging business. The industry is now investing massively and building a framework for sustainable transport and to reduce emissions. Change in consumer behaviour, regulations and sustainability-oriented technologies are driving this change. Statkraft, who has made clean energy possible for over a century, is now taking a powerful position in decarbonising transport with renewable energy by providing electric vehicle charging to a growing market.

We are looking for students who wish to explore and develop new adjacent business ideas within the EV charging space, beyond the current business models around supply, installation and operation of fast- and slow-charging equipment. The project contributes to create value and a pole position in the coupling of the energy and mobility sectors.  

You will present the outcome of the project to our Corporate Management and the broader organisation by the end of the period. The project will be based in Oslo and last from mid-June mid-August.
