6Overview
The municipality has limited but promising energy development activity, primarily focused on solar power. A major solar facility is in early planning stages, while grid infrastructure includes the Sande transformer station.
Recent Activity
NVE received notification for the Hestehagen solar project in April 2025, representing the most significant energy development activity with 20 GWh expected annual production
Key Substations
Outlook
Moderate potential for solar development given the substantial size of the planned Hestehagen project, though limited current activity suggests developers should assess local conditions carefully
