9Overview
The municipality is experiencing significant energy sector development with Statnett investing in major transmission infrastructure including the new Øygarden transformer station. Large-scale hydrogen and datacenter projects are competing for grid capacity at Lindås, while the aquaculture sector is rapidly electrifying to replace diesel generators.
Recent Activity
New datacenter project from BW Velora entered the grid queue (50 MW), while Equinor's hydrogen project was withdrawn from the queue. Two aquaculture electrification concessions were recently filed, continuing the sector's shift away from diesel generators.
Key Substations
Outlook
Strong growth prospects driven by major transmission infrastructure upgrades and high industrial demand, though grid capacity constraints may emerge given the volume of large consumption projects queuing at Lindås substation.
