6Overview
The municipality hosts two small operational wind farms (Tindafjellet 10.35 MW and Skurvenuten 6.9 MW) commissioned in 2018, but the flagship Gilja 135 MW project lapsed in 2022 after failing to meet construction deadlines. Recent grid infrastructure modernization includes demolishing obsolete 50 kV lines, while new EV charging infrastructure indicates growing electricity demand.
Recent Activity
Grid infrastructure modernization with demolition of obsolete 50 kV lines completed in December 2024, plus new EV charging station infrastructure approved
Key Substations
Municipality Stance
Mixed - approved smaller wind projects but major developments face execution challenges
Outlook
Limited near-term wind development prospects after major project failure, but established grid infrastructure and successful small-scale projects suggest potential for appropriately-sized developments
