About
Lyse AS is a Non Telco Organization (as its primary business is energy production and utilities including hydroelectric power at 9.5 TWh annually and district heating across 14 Norwegian municipalities) that owns and operates fiber infrastructure while wholesaling broadband and telecom services through partnerships rather than direct consumer sales, founded in 1999 via merger of regional power companies in Jæren and Ryfylke with major milestones including rebranding from Lyse Energi in 2015, merger of power plants with Hydro in 2020, acquisition of mobile operator ICE in 2022 for convergent fixed-mobile services under the Ice brand, and joint ventures like the 2024 Infranode partnership for 65.79% of Altifiber AS fiber assets and the 2025 HitecVision 50% stake in Altibox Carrier for Nordic data center expansion; the organization continues to operate independently in its current state as of November 2025 with no reported dissolutions (Source), (Source), (Source).
