4Overview
Tvedestrand has a small but varied concession portfolio, with active permits for EV charging stations from Tesla and ST1, a mini hydropower plant at Hammerfossen, and a pending solar application from Greenstat Solar. The municipality is touched by a significant regional grid upgrade — the 132 kV Bøylestad–Longum Nord–Morrow project driven by Glitre Nett — though that infrastructure primarily serves neighboring Arendal. No Statnett grid queue reservations are present, reflecting the municipality's limited large-scale generation ambitions to date.
Recent Activity

Key Substations
Municipality Stance
No clear opposition or strong promotion evident from available data; the municipality appears permissive toward small-scale and transport-related energy infrastructure, with limited large-scale generation development.
Outlook
Tvedestrand's near-term energy landscape is likely to remain modest in scale, though the ongoing 132 kV grid upgrade to serve the Morrow battery factory in Arendal improves regional grid strength and could open capacity for future projects. The pending Slåtta solar concession is one to watch. Developers interested in small hydro, solar, or EV charging infrastructure will find a receptive regulatory environment, but large-scale generation or industrial loads would require further grid capacity assessment.
