7Overview
The municipality shows active grid infrastructure development with the new Tjora transformer station approved to replace aging infrastructure, alongside smaller-scale charging infrastructure at Sola airport. However, the 24 MW Risavika wind power project was effectively blocked by NVE due to local opposition and environmental concerns.
Recent Activity
Major grid modernization with Tjora transformer station approval in December 2025 and airport charging infrastructure concession granted in April 2024
Key Substations
Municipality Stance
Mixed approach - supportive of grid infrastructure and transportation electrification but resistant to large-scale wind power development near populated areas
Outlook
Good prospects for grid infrastructure and transportation electrification projects, but wind power development likely faces significant challenges due to proximity to dense settlement and airport operations
