What Krøderen Elektro does

Krøderen Elektro AS is a privately held Norwegian electrical contractor founded in 1986 and headquartered in Åmot (Modum), Norway. The company installs, maintains, and inspects electrical systems for private homeowners, housing cooperatives, commercial enterprises, municipal clients, and industrial customers across the Buskerud region of Eastern Norway, operating six regional offices in Modum, Krøderen, Sigdal, Kongsberg, Ringerike, and Hallingdal with a workforce of 170–200 employees. Its service portfolio spans general electrical installation, lighting, heating (floor heating, heat pumps, smart heating control), EV charging (Zaptec-based), smart-home automation, solar photovoltaic systems, fire and intrusion security systems, and electrical inspection (thermography, grounding, insulation measurement per NEK 405.2). The company also operates its own fiber and wireless broadband network under the KEASNett brand, serving residential subscribers across Modum, Sigdal, Flå, Krødsherad, and Hole with monthly subscription plans at NOK 499–649, after acquiring Norcom Norefjell AS in December 2023.

The business operates a hybrid revenue model: one-time and project-based professional services for installation and inspection work (quote-based pricing) plus recurring monthly broadband subscriptions. GTM is dual-track — direct-to-consumer booking via the eke.no website for residential customers, and enterprise field sales for large commercial, municipal, and industrial projects. Customer references include Telenor Fornebu, Quality Spa Resort Norefjell, Hønefoss videregående skole, Heggedal skole, Modumheimen, Bekkestua Senter, Sigdal Element, Hellik Teigen, and Rental Group (Norway's largest solar-and-battery installation at 2,000 panels).

Krøderen Elektro is a subsidiary of Nimlas, a Nordic group of technical-installation companies covering Norway, Sweden, and Finland. The company holds four Norwegian regulatory certifications (Sentralt godkjent, Autorisert elinstallatør, Sentral godkjent for brann/nødlys, and Lærebedrift apprenticeship employer status) that are mandatory to legally operate as an electrical contractor in Norway. The company is led by CEO Vegard Jelstad, Vice-CEO Bjørn Henrik Solheim, and a team of department heads across solar, projects, broadband, low-voltage, switchboard workshop, internal control, and five geographic branches.

Direct peers

• OneCo: Norwegian electrical and telecom infrastructure contractor serving utility, public, and commercial customers. Closely comparable in service mix (electrical installation, broadband/telecom infrastructure, solar/EV) and Norwegian geography.
• GK Gruppen: Norwegian technical installations contractor (electrical, HVAC, plumbing) serving both residential and commercial/industrial customers. Closely comparable in service breadth and Norwegian mid-market positioning.
• Norsk Elektro (EL-PROFFEN chain): Norwegian chain of authorized electrical contractors offering residential and small-commercial installation, solar, and EV services. Comparable on direct-to-consumer electrical installation motion.
• Comfort (heating chain): Norwegian chain of plumbing and heating installers covering heat pumps, underfloor heating, and energy upgrades. Directly comparable on residential heating installation services and chain-affiliate model.

Broad incumbents

• Bravida: Nordic multi-technical installations provider (electrical, HVAC, security, telecom). Overlaps with Krøderen on electrical, smart home, and security services but operates across the Nordics at much greater scale and breadth.
• Assemblin: Nordic technical installations group covering electrical, HVAC, and plumbing. Same Nimlas-adjacent multi-trade model but broader Nordic footprint and significantly larger revenue base.
• Caverion: Nordic/Finnish-headquartered provider of technical building solutions — electrical, HVAC, security, automation. Comparable service portfolio with building-owners and industrial customers but at enterprise scale.
• YIT: Finnish/Nordic provider of technical building and infrastructure services. Overlaps with Krøderen on electrical installations, energy efficiency retrofits, and smart-building services.

Regional players

• AF Gruppen: Major Norwegian construction and civil engineering group. Comparable as a customer-of-electrical-contractors and as a regional employer competing for the same skilled trades; less directly comparable on service delivery.
• Veidekke: Major Scandinavian construction contractor with Norwegian operations. Comparable as a regional construction-industry counterpart and occasional customer of electrical services, though broader in scope than Krøderen.
