Bindal

Overview

The municipality shows concentrated development around Kolsvik substation, which serves as a key connection point for diverse energy projects. While a major 225 MW wind project was previously rejected, current activity focuses on smaller-scale hydro development and significant aquaculture expansion requiring substantial grid capacity.

Recent Activity

AKVAFUTURE AS has been actively progressing through the grid connection process, moving from initial queue entry to reserved status for a 2 MW aquaculture facility at Kolsvik, though with a delayed connection timeline to 2029.

Key Substations

Outlook

Strong prospects for aquaculture development with multiple projects securing grid capacity at Kolsvik substation. The rejection of the large wind project may limit renewable production potential, but smaller hydro projects show promise. The strategic location of Kolsvik substation positions Bindal well for continued industrial and aquaculture expansion.
