Goal achievement in Gassco

Gassco operates according to five strategic pillars, where achievement of objectives is assessed using defined key performance indicators (KPIs).

Below you will find an overview of our current strategic objectives and KPIs. You can read more about Gassco`s strategy here.

Safe and reliable

Gassco will uphold high safety standards, ensure security of supply and maintain long-term integrity.

Reduced frequency of critical incidents

Gassco strives for zero accidents and no harm to people, the environment, or physical assets. This KPI measures the frequency of both actual and potential critical health, safety, and environmental (HSE) incidents per hours worked during the year, benchmarked against the 2024 baseline.

IT security – user awareness

As an organisation subject to the Security Act, Gassco has strict requirements for information and IT security. This indicator measures employees’ ability to detect phishing attempts and protect confidential information, as well as participation in learning sessions on information security.


Barrier integrity-indicator

Safe and reliable operations are fundamental to Gassco’s role as system operator. This KPI assesses the condition of safety‑critical equipment and functions designed to prevent major accidents across our facilities.

Deliverability at exit points

Gassco aims to operate the gas transport system with maximum uptime and minimal unplanned disruptions. This indicator measures how much gas is delivered to receiving terminals compared with orders from system users. Deliverability is affected by unplanned incidents, but not by planned capacity reductions.

Extra capacity sales

High system utilisation is essential for maximising value for shippers and system owners. This KPI measures the additional short‑term capacity Gassco makes available in the transport system and that is subsequently purchased by shippers.

Sustainability goals

Competitive systems

Gassco will ensure efficient operation and timely development of the infrastructure.

Total operating expenses

Gassco aims to operate and maintain the Norwegian gas transport system in a cost‑effective manner and according to budget. This indicator measures the total operating costs (excluding energy costs and fees) across all Gassco-operated licences including facilities, terminals, pipelines etc. The indicator also covers operating expenses related to system operation, capacity management and infrastructure development. Results are evaluated against the approved budget

Development Plan Kårstø

Further development of the facility is important to ensure long‑term cost‑efficient operations.

This KPI measures the progress of activities to identify short‑ and long‑term cost‑reducing measures at Kårstø and to establish a long‑term development strategy.

Development plan Nyhamna

Further development of the facility is important to ensure long‑term cost‑efficient operations.

This KPI measures the progress of activities to identify short‑ and long‑term cost‑reducing measures at Nyhamna and to establish a long‑term development strategy.

Sustainability goals

Low emissions

Gassco will work to reduce emissions and embrace the energy transition.

Greenhouse gas emissions from our facilities

Gassco works to minimize emissions from the production and transport of gas. This indicator measures the total direct emissions of carbon dioxide and methane from our facilities, as well as indirect emissions related to electricity consumption.

Emission reductions from Kårstø processing plant

The Kårstø facility is the largest emission point in the Norwegian gas transport system. This indicator measures whether the decision basis for emission‑reducing projects at Kårstø is presented according to plan.

Included projects are ethane reinjection, electrification and a CO₂ removal plant using new membrane technology. These measures can reduce emissions by 80.000–100.000 tonnes CO₂ annually.

Sustainability goals

New opportunities

Gassco will seize emerging opportunities in existing operations and future value chains.

Implementation of digitalisation projects

Key digitalisation projects shall be implemented according to plan. These initiatives aim to reduce costs, increase revenue, improve efficiency and quality and enhance safety. Projects include establishing a cloud platform, automating field‑data collection and developing future solutions for gas‑transport operations.

Sustainability goals

People and competence

Gassco will invest in people and build a competent and future-oriented workforce.

People and competence

Gassco is a knowledge‑based company where engaged and satisfied employees are critical for goal achievement. This KPI measures work related to organisational development, employee development, and staffing strategy. The organisation is assessed based on completion rates for performance reviews, pulse surveys and e‑learning programs on ethical guidelines and insider information
