Volue is a leading supplier of technology and enabler of the green transition. We offer software, insight and systems that lead the European markets’ transition to robust and sustainable services critical for society.
Our market-leading products optimise energy production, trading, distribution and consumption, as well as infrastructure and construction projects. Our mission is to realise a cleaner and more profitable future for our 2,200+ customers and thus the global society
Volue operates in three main fields: energy, power grid, and infrastructure. Through analysis, planning operations, asset management to monetisation, we create value out of volatility.
We empower the green transition and increase revenues for our customers – from utilities, to large end consumers, grid operators to builders of infrastructure. We also design and develop cutting-edge technology for municipalities, water, defence, transport, maritime, and offshore.
Sustainable development is vital for all our future. That development comes with challenges that require stability. We believe great people, delivering end-to-end platforms and technology services, hold the key to unlock a better and more prosperous future.
Volue has a growing customer base all over Europe, and beyond. Among our international energy customers are eight of the ten largest European utilities, including EnBW, Enel, E.ON, Fortum, Innogy, RWE, Uniper, and Vattenfall. We also serve most of the nordic grid operators and have a strong position among Norwegian municipalities, construction and Infrastructure developers.
As a company, we might be a new player, but we know the game better than most. Founded by some of the most experienced and innovative technology companies in the industry, Volue’s DNA has been the transition to sustainable and digital services before it has seen the light of the world. Agile as a start-up, experienced enough to claim a leading position from the get-go.
Volue is about people. From staff to client, people are at the centre of all our operations, and we always strive for a flat structure where everyone feels included, appreciated and recognised for their individual efforts. Or as we call it; “ONE Volue”. We hire talented and hardworking individuals, regardless of gender, race, ethnicity, ancestry, age, disability, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, cultural background or religious beliefs.
The energy market is changing at a breathtaking pace. At Volue, we specialise in helping power professionals manage renewable power, and we have been doing so long before it became a global issue. How? Listen to our CEO Trond Straume and learn how our technology realises a sustainable tomorrow.
The share of renewable power production in Europe increases steadily, and with this market volatility. Utilities need integrated and cloud-based IT solutions to remain competitive in this segment.
Kristin Wikstrøm, Head of People, explains how the Volue values of being TRUSTWORTHY EXPLORERS working TOGETHER for a SUSTAINABLE tomorrow guide the team and create a shared sense of purpose.
At Volue, we want to secure a diverse and inclusive workplace by providing equal opportunities in recruitment, development, promotions, and education. We are working towards being diverse and inclusive within the dimensions of age, ethnicity, gender, language, religion, sexual orientation, physical and mental ability and thinking styles. To achieve our goals, we have created our own diversity and inclusion policy.
Volue is thriving under the guidance of a leadership who is dedicated, focused and experienced.
