Equinor ASA will downsize its renewables unit and is beginning discussions with unions regarding employees at the division.

The Norwegian company becomes the latest European oil and gas producer to adjust its clean-energy strategy as the industry faces the dual challenge of rising costs and low returns. Equinor will prioritize profitability over growth and undertake fewer renewables projects in fewer markets, according to an internal memo seen by Bloomberg.
