Lunner

Overview

Lunner's energy profile is dominated by large-scale Statnett transmission projects crossing the municipality, including the planned 420 kV Lillehammer–Gran line upgrade and the new Skyberg transformer station, both of which primarily serve regional grid reinforcement rather than local generation. On the production side, Viul Kraft AS holds a 40 MW reserved queue position for a hydro project at Hadeland transforming station. A recent withdrawal of a 25 MW solar reservation by Hafslund Magnora Sol AS signals some caution around local grid capacity uptake.

Recent Activity

In August 2026, Hafslund Magnora Sol AS withdrew its 25 MW solar reservation at Hadeland transforming station, removing previously secured grid capacity. This leaves Viul Kraft AS as the sole active queue participant at Hadeland TRA with 40 MW reserved for hydro production.

Key Substations

Municipality Stance

No clear municipal stance is evident from available data; energy activity is largely driven by national grid operator Statnett and regional network owners rather than local policy decisions.

Outlook

Lunner's outlook for energy development is tied closely to the progression of Statnett's 420 kV Lillehammer–Gran line upgrade, which will significantly increase regional transmission capacity and could unlock new connection opportunities at the planned Gullerud station in neighbouring Gran. The 40 MW hydro reservation by Viul Kraft remains the primary local generation prospect. The solar withdrawal at Hadeland TRA may reflect near-term grid capacity constraints, but developers should monitor the Statnett grid upgrade timeline as a potential catalyst for new projects in the area.
