Statkraft renewable energy infrastructure developments

Overview

Statkraft is advancing several renewable energy infrastructure projects across Europe.

In the Shetland Islands, the company has commenced preparatory work on a new substation at Mossy Hill near Lerwick. This substation is designed to connect eight 145-metre turbines to the existing Kergord-Gremista cable network. Construction of the turbines is slated to begin later in 2026, with power generation expected by summer 2029.

In Norway, Statkraft is investing approximately NOK 460 million to modernize the Vikfalli hydropower complex. The project involves upgrading control systems and electrical infrastructure at the Målset, Refsdal, and Hove power plants. These upgrades, which include ABB control systems, aim to improve reliability, remote control, and cybersecurity for the plants, which collectively power between 50,000 and 53,000 Norwegian households.
