BKK AS

Overview

BKK AS operates as a dominant regional distribution system operator (DSO) in Vestland, with 12 active grid concession cases spanning transformer station expansions, line relocations, and expropriation proceedings across the Bergen region and surrounding municipalities. The company's sole non-grid project is a granted 132 kV concession to connect a 260 MW ammonia factory at Raunholmen in Gulen, signaling engagement with emerging green industrial demand. No Statnett grid queue reservations are registered, consistent with BKK's role as a grid owner rather than a power producer or large end-user.

Active Regions

Strategic Focus

BKK AS is focused primarily on maintaining, modernising, and expanding its regional grid infrastructure across Vestland, particularly in the Bergen metropolitan area and surrounding municipalities (Øygarden, Vaksdal, Osterøy, Voss, Eidfjord, Ulvik). Projects include transformer capacity upgrades, line replacements, and route relocations driven by road construction and ageing infrastructure. The single standout non-grid project — the 260 MW connection for a planned ammonia facility in Skipavika — indicates BKK is also positioning itself to serve large-scale green industrial customers requiring significant new grid capacity.

Recent Activity

In July 2026, BKK received a concession to relocate the 66 kV underground cable between Tefre and Førde (granted 18 July 2026). Separately, the previously granted 132 kV Sandøy–Raunholmen concession for the 260 MW ammonia plant connection re-entered a public hearing (Høring) phase on 11 July 2026, keeping that major industrial project under active regulatory scrutiny.
