Aurora as a partner
As an electricity network partner, Aurora supports its customers on their paths towards an increasingly electrified fossil free production. Check out what cooperation with Aurora means.
It is smart to choose Aurora
The industry requires significant electricity grid investments and even more reliable electricity distribution the more its processes are being electrified. Partnership with Aurora is smart because:
- Aurora acts as its customers’ electricity network infrastructure expert in network renewal and expansion needs
- Aurora projects and finances electrical grid renewals and even large-scale new projects in cooperation with its network of suppliers
- Aurora takes responsibility for the operation and maintenance of the electricity network, producing top-class availability in line with customer criteria
- Aurora identifies future life cycle renewals as well as availability risks caused by the aging of network components
- Aurora’s customer contracts are truly bilateral, predictable and transparent long-term partnership contracts. The regulatory model of public distribution networks does not control the service fee, and for example the value of the network is based on actual purchase prices instead of regulated unit prices.
- Aurora’s customers gain access to solid expertise in electricity distribution, and as a result, free up financial and human resources for developing their core business
A partnership supporting many needs
We want to ensure that Aurora’s electricity network partnership always meets customer-specific needs. This is why our partnership model is always tailor made on a case-by-case basis, taking into account the customer’s current and future needs.
Aurora’s strengths
1. Aurora’s personnel has broad technical and financial expertise of electricity networks from different industries.
2. We are able to convert customer needs to cost effective network structure and operations.
3. We constantly develop our own processes to bring more value to our customers in terms of transparency of the network structure, investment plans and its operations.
4. We are independent from specific equipment manufacturers. In our view this is important when taking into account the ability to respond to customer needs in a cost effective way and guaranteeing the needed network availability, cyber security and process efficiency.
5. We bring in international infrastructure funding to support our customer’s operations at sites and ensure sufficient network development.
