Småkraft AS recently entered the grid connection queue in May 2025 for an 8 MW production facility at Borgund station, demonstrating continued interest in the area's hydropower potential.
Key Substations
Outlook
Strong prospects for continued development with established grid infrastructure at Borgund station attracting multiple developers, though one recent 8 MW withdrawal suggests some projects may face challenges. The major 420 kV transmission upgrades will significantly enhance regional grid capacity.
