Nore og Uvdal

Overview

The municipality hosts substantial high-voltage grid infrastructure operated by Statnett and Glitre Nett, anchored by the Nore and Uvdal power plant complexes. Statkraft holds a 290 MW grid queue reservation at Nore 1, likely related to future rehabilitation or expansion of existing hydro assets. Ongoing grid investments — including a new 132/22 kV Rødberg transformer station and upgraded transmission lines — signal continued commitment to improving regional supply security and enabling future capacity.

Recent Activity

No specific changes in the last 30 days are indicated in the source data. The active concession pipeline includes Glitre Nett's applications for the new Rødberg transformer station and associated 132 kV line, which are in progress and represent the most significant near-term developments.

Key Substations

Municipality Stance

The municipality appears supportive of energy development, hosting major national grid and hydropower infrastructure with multiple active concession processes and no apparent regulatory opposition. The ongoing investments in grid upgrades around Rødberg further suggest a constructive local environment.

Outlook

Nore og Uvdal has a strong foundation for continued energy activity, anchored by Statkraft's 290 MW queue reservation at Nore 1 which could signal a significant hydro rehabilitation or upgrade project. The planned Rødberg grid reinforcement will improve supply security and potentially unlock additional connection capacity in the Numedal region. The combination of established hydro assets, high-voltage transmission infrastructure, and active grid investment makes this municipality a compelling location for hydro-focused developers.
