However, following a merger in September 2025 and subsequent shareholder decisions to liquidate the company, Aker Horizons ASA has ceased operational activities and has been delisted from the Euronext Oslo Børs since April 2026. The company's dissolution reflects the challenges it faced in maintaining a viable business model within the renewable energy landscape, particularly related to financing and operational capacities.
