The municipality is at the center of a major grid modernization effort, with Statnett and Glitre Nett developing the new Eiker transformer station to replace the aging Flesaker station. This grid upgrade is attracting substantial solar development, with over 136 MW of solar projects in the queue at competitive grid connection points.
Recent Activity
Significant regulatory progress in the last 30 days with multiple concession approvals for the Eiker transformer station project following appeal reviews. One grid queue withdrawal by SOLLIBERGENE UTVIKLING AS indicates some project optimization in the market.

Outlook
Excellent prospects for solar development once the new Eiker transformer station is operational, providing modern grid infrastructure and enhanced capacity. The municipality is well-positioned to become a solar hub in the region with strong grid connectivity and multiple reserved connection points.
