9Overview
The municipality hosts significant transmission infrastructure including the strategic Surna transformer station and multiple high-voltage connections. While recent withdrawals by Wäcker Chemicals and Shell indicate some market volatility, active aquaculture and potential datacenter developments show continued industrial interest in the area's grid capacity.
Recent Activity
Mixed activity in the last 30 days with Salfjord AS expanding aquaculture capacity to 55 MW and applying for a major 90 MW datacenter connection, while industrial projects from Wäcker Chemicals (44 MW) and Shell (25 MW) were withdrawn from the grid queue.
Key Substations
Outlook
Strong grid infrastructure positions Surnadal well for future energy-intensive industries, though recent industrial withdrawals suggest developers should carefully assess market conditions and grid capacity availability before committing to projects.
