Framework agreement for supply and service of drones

Statnett SF, Norway's state-owned power grid operator, is procuring a framework agreement for the supply and service of drones to support its operational needs, particularly for infrastructure inspections such as power lines and substations. This follows their successful deployment of autonomous drones for remote inspections, like the flight between Aura and Viklandet, aimed at enhancing efficiency, data quality, worker safety, and airspace integration. The agreement enables ongoing procurement to advance these monitoring capabilities amid Norway's national drone strategy.
