HAFSLUND MAGNORA SOL AS

Overview

Hafslund Magnora Sol AS — a joint venture between Hafslund and Magnora — is pursuing an aggressive solar-only strategy across Southern and Eastern Norway, with 26 active grid queue positions totalling nearly 700 MW of production capacity. The company holds 4 active concession cases covering 192 MW, while 4 earlier applications (295 MW) were withdrawn, largely due to grid connection challenges at substations like Minne and Frogner. The sheer volume and geographic spread of queue reservations signals a portfolio development approach, likely with the intent to advance the most viable projects through to construction.

Active Regions

Strategic Focus

Hafslund Magnora Sol is pursuing a pure-play utility-scale solar strategy in Norway's most populous and grid-accessible regions — primarily Eastern Norway (NO1) and Vestfold/Telemark (NO2). The company appears to be reserving large numbers of grid connection slots across multiple substations simultaneously, hedging against grid constraints by maintaining a diversified queue. The single 20 MW consumption entry at Tveiten TRA may indicate co-location of storage or a load facility. Earlier withdrawals at Minne and Frogner highlight that grid capacity remains the key bottleneck for project progression.

Recent Activity

In late June 2026, the company saw two queue positions removed — an 83 MW slot at Minne TRA and a 16 MW slot at Frogner TRA — suggesting ongoing portfolio pruning or grid capacity rejections. Simultaneously, a 25 MW Flesaker TRA position was upgraded from 'in queue' to 'reserved', and its target connection date was pushed back from October 2028 to September 2030, indicating slower-than-expected progress toward construction readiness.
