CHEMRING NOBEL AS

Overview

Chemring Nobel AS, a defence and explosives manufacturer, is pursuing a major increase in industrial electricity consumption at its established site near Sylling in Lier municipality. The company holds a 10 MW reserved grid connection and has recently entered the queue for an additional 100 MW at the same Sylling TRA connection point, signalling a substantial scale-up of operations. A concession for electrical facilities within an existing industrial area in nearby Asker provides further evidence of active infrastructure investment.

Active Regions

Strategic Focus

Chemring Nobel AS is focused entirely on industrial energy consumption to support its defence and explosives manufacturing operations in the greater Oslo region. The company is not a power producer but is investing heavily in grid capacity and on-site electrical infrastructure to enable a significant expansion of its industrial processes, with 110 MW of consumption capacity pursued at a single grid connection point.

Recent Activity

In July 2026, Chemring Nobel AS entered the Statnett grid connection queue at Sylling TRA seeking 100 MW of industrial consumption capacity, representing a tenfold increase above its existing 10 MW reservation at the same substation. This signals a major planned expansion of the company's industrial operations in Lier.
