Overview

The municipality has prior experience with offshore wind development through Statkraft's test turbine project on Haugøya, though this was withdrawn in 2016 as Statkraft shifted away from offshore wind investments.

Recent Activity

Mellom AS received renewed construction permit for Smøla transformer station in December 2025, maintaining critical grid infrastructure.
