Overview

The municipality is seeing substantial grid modernization with Statnett's 420 kV upgrade and multiple new transformer stations, supporting industrial growth in areas like Frier Vest and Rafnes. However, Vianode's withdrawal of 180 MW battery projects suggests grid capacity constraints or economic challenges for energy storage development.

Recent Activity

Major activity with Stormvind's 30 MW project advancing to reserved status and multiple grid concessions granted, but offset by Vianode withdrawing 180 MW of battery capacity projects, indicating mixed market conditions.
