THREE60 Energy, a global energy services provider, has appointed Jarle Veshovde as Managing Director for its Norwegian business, effective 1st of January 2026.

Veshovde returns to THREE60 Energy with more than two decades of leadership experience in the Norwegian energy sector, covering well services, integrated operations and strategic growth disciplines. He previously served as Managing Director for the company’s Norwegian business from 2016 to 2020, and later as Strategic Development Director in 2021. He holds a master’s degree in petroleum technology from the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU).

Most recently, Veshovde has served as Investment Director at Valinor, where he built strong industry relationships across energy and technology. His combined experience in operational leadership, commercial growth and strategic investment will support THREE60 Energy’s continued development in Norway, particularly across subsurface, wells, subsea, facilities engineering and late-life services. Having worked closely with the organisation before, he brings a deep understanding of the company’s people, culture and operating model.

“We are delighted to welcome Jarle back to THREE60 Energy. He brings valuable industry experience and a clear understanding of the opportunities ahead for our Norwegian business, and I look forward to supporting him as we advance our strategic plans.”

Get in touch

AREG is the original energy transition organisation, working on behalf of members to empower the energy supply chain and champion its expertise. Please get in touch if you have any questions or would like to find out more about membership.

AREG has played an important role in the growth of Scotland’s renewable energy sector, engaging the supply chain and developing the European Offshore Wind Deployment Centre. However, we are only at the very beginning of the transition that AREG was established to both lead and support so there are still opportunities for companies to get into the constantly evolving renewables supply chain. We look forward to continuing our work together as renewables builds on its place as Scotland’s main source of power, and as we seek to deliver real change in the crucial areas of heat and transport.

Aberdeen & Grampian Chamber of Commerce has worked closely with AREG since its formation. The recent progress in the developments of offshore wind projects by Equinor and Vattenfall are as a result of the work of the group over many years. The north-east is known as the oil and gas capital of Europe. At the Chamber, we believe the region must evolve its position to being recognised as the energy capital. Whilst hydrocarbons will continue to be essential in driving our economy for years to come, the generation of renewable resources will play an increasingly important role in providing cost-effective power, innovative development and economic growth.

The enthusiasm and dedication of the early group that would become AREG was fundamental in us choosing to launch All-Energy in Aberdeen. The first tiny show was held in 2001, and AREG’s Chairman at the time, Jeremy Cresswell, played such an active role that I often describe him in terms such as All-Energy’s ‘midwife’. All-Energy is now the UK’s largest renewable and low carbon energy exhibition and conference in terms of number of attendees, space booked, and number of exhibiting companies. As AREG became firmly established, their presence and support for the event grew spectacularly over the years. We thank them most sincerely for their invaluable input.

Vattenfall has forged a strong working relationship with AREG through the development of the European Offshore Wind Deployment Centre. AREG has worked tirelessly on behalf of the North East and it can take enormous credit for the growth of sustainable energy in the region and the path it has cleared for the region to capture further investment.

Aberdeen City and Shire is emerging as a key location for renewables by successfully transferring its world-class oil and gas expertise into the sector and AREG has done much to advance this through a broad range of initiatives. It has acted as a catalyst in driving further investment in the local economy by engaging with companies, Government, public bodies and existing projects and we have been pleased to support their efforts. Scottish Enterprise will continue to engage with AREG as we increase Scotland’s use of renewable energy.
