In May 2022, Solgrid received the first license for a solar power plant in Norway, hitting a milestone for the development of large-scale solar power in the country.
The facility is located in Stor-Elvdal municipality, half an hour’s drive south of Koppang.
The ground-mounted facility will be located next to Highway 3 (Riksvei 3) on an area with a gravel quarry and scattered pine forest.
The solar power plant has a similar design to our first plant in Sweden, and has an installed capacity of 7 MWp.
Expected annual production is 6.4 GWh, which corresponds to the consumption of around 10% of households in the municipality.
