The municipality hosts significant grid infrastructure including the new 420 kV Gismarvik transformer station and connects multiple major transmission projects. With 62.3 MW of wind power production and 65.0 MW of petroleum consumption, primarily from the Kårstø gas processing facility, Tysvær demonstrates balanced energy development supporting both renewable generation and industrial needs.
Recent Activity
Recent months have seen a Gassco project withdrawn from queue (150 MW), new Statnett modifications at Gismarvik station, Equinor's Kårstø electrification application, and the Dalbygda wind project entering conditions revision phase for potential redevelopment.

Outlook
Strong prospects as a regional energy hub with major grid infrastructure in place, ongoing petroleum sector electrification projects, and potential for wind power expansion through the Dalbygda project revision process.
