12Overview
The municipality is at the center of substantial grid modernization efforts by Statnett, including new 420 kV transmission lines and the Gismarvik transformer station, supporting both renewable energy integration and industrial development. While three wind power projects totaling 104 MW have secured concessions, the withdrawal of Gassco's 150 MW petroleum electrification project and Equinor's 35 MW Balder/Grane project suggests challenges in offshore petroleum electrification.
Recent Activity
Statnett has been actively developing major grid infrastructure with modifications to Gismarvik transformer station and new 420 kV transmission lines, while the Dalbygda wind project has entered conditions revision phase after its original concession lapsed.
Key Substations
Outlook
Strong prospects for grid-connected projects due to major transmission infrastructure investments, though petroleum electrification faces challenges as evidenced by recent project withdrawals. The municipality's strategic location makes it well-positioned for industrial energy projects.
