Strong hydro development momentum with Småkraft submitting three new projects totaling 26 MW in March 2026, all targeting connection at Haugsvær station, indicating concentrated development around existing grid infrastructure.
Key Substations
Outlook
Positive for small-scale hydro development with active developer interest and available grid capacity at Haugsvær, while the municipality benefits from substantial Statnett grid investments. However, challenges with large wind projects suggest regulatory or technical barriers for utility-scale renewables.
