History

[edit]

Lyse's roots go back to the establishment of the first electricity plants at the beginning of the 20th century, which became the engine in the industrialization and modernization of Norway. In 1947, the company Lyse Kraft DA was established with the aim of expanding the hydropower resources in Lysebotn. The name Lyse is inspired by the Lyse river in Lysebotn.

The company was founded in 1999 as a merger between the municipal power companies in Stavanger, Sandnes, Sola, Time as well as Ryfylke Energi and Lyse Kraft.[1]

In 2015, the company changed its name from Lyse Energi AS to Lyse AS.

In 2020, the company merged its portfolio power plants with Hydro, becoming one of the largest hydroelectric power producers in Norway. As a part of the transaction Hydro acquired the operatorship of Lyse's power plants.

In March 2022, Ice Group sold its operating activities to Lyse AS.[2]
