Energeia granted reservation of 76MW and 258MW in que in the transmission grid by Statnett

12 January 2024

Reference is given to the third quarter report 2023 (page 8) identifying that the Norwegian Water Resources and Energy Directorate (“NVE”) now require ground mounted Solar PV power plant projects to have a right to grid connection by the TSO (Statnett) before NVE starts the concession approval procedure necessary for building a solar PV power plant. The right to grid connection is given in the form of a “reservation” for grid connection within existing or planned electricity grid capacity.

On the 4th of December 2023 Energeia announced that it had received a reservation of a 105 MW grid connection for the Ålamoen Solar PV power plant, located in Hjartdal municipality in Vestfold and Telemark County from Statnett.

Today, Energeia has received the right for grid connection for 3 solar PV power plants of 76,3MW in the Gjøvik region. 30MW is granted in the grid capacity expected to be made available in 2024 and 46,3 MW is granted in the planned grid. Statnett cannot at this time specify when this capacity is available. The combined grid connection represents a power plant capacity in the range 100 to 120 MWp. The project Seval Skog is granted grid connection in the existing grid, and the Mæhlum power plants and Store Nøkleberg power plants are granted grid connection in the planned grid.

Based on receiving the above grid reservations Energeia will file concession applications for these 3 projects to NVE during 2024. However, if, when and how NVE decides to conduct the necessary concession approval procedure is outside of our control.

Energeia also received notification that 2 projects are placed in que for right to grid connection with 258,4 MW in Innlandet County. Final grid connection reservation will be based on the ongoing revision of the transmission grid operational capabilities. In addition, a further 3 projects representing 136,9 MW grid connection is placed in que awaiting the next updated regional development plan that will be started in 2024.

As of today, Energeia has received right to grid connection of in total 181,3MW, representing an installed capacity between 200 to 260 MWp for 4 power plant projects. These projects should now qualify for NVE to start the concession application procedure. In addition, Energeia has 5 projects in formal que for grid connection with the TSO for a combined 395,3 MW grid connection representing approximately 475 MWp in installed power plant capacity.

The timing of constructing and grid connecting these projects is dependent on NVE granting a concession and Statnett and DSOs to build the necessary grid capacity in the relevant regions.
