LINJA AS

Overview

Linja AS operates as a significant regional distribution and transmission grid company, holding 29 active concession cases almost exclusively focused on grid infrastructure — transformer stations, switching stations, and 132 kV power lines across municipalities in Vestland and Møre og Romsdal. The company has been actively consolidating its asset base through mergers and license transfers (notably from Mørenett AS), while simultaneously pursuing new capacity upgrades to serve growing demand, including a notable connection supporting green ammonia production at Svelgen. With no presence in the Statnett grid queue, Linja AS operates as a grid infrastructure owner and developer rather than a power producer.

Active Regions

Strategic Focus

Linja AS is focused exclusively on regional grid ownership, operation, and expansion — upgrading aging 66 kV infrastructure to 132 kV, building new transformer and switching stations, and extending grid capacity to serve both existing communities and new industrial loads (including green hydrogen/ammonia). The company has also been consolidating its license portfolio through corporate mergers, transferring concessions to and from Mørenett AS (now renamed back to Linja AS).

Recent Activity

In the past 30 days, Linja AS filed a new application for a transformer substation in Ulstein municipality (June 2026), received final approval for the new 132 kV power supply to Florø after a complaint process (June 2026), and had its application for expansion of Hareidsberget transformer station rejected by NVE (July 2026). Activity indicates continued grid investment alongside some regulatory setbacks.
