Bjerkreim substation

New substation.

In Bjerkreim, a definitive licence has been granted for the development of wind power, and the planned Bjerkreim Sub Station will make it possible to link the new power production to the main grid.

Areal: approx. 84,000 square metres
Other buildings: Control building
Progress: Construction in the period 2017–2019
Expected completion: In 2019
Expected cost (NOK million):
- Grid development plan 2015: 450–600*
- Updated investment plan 2016: 530–620**
- Grid development plan 2017: 500–540***

*Total cost of the entire project. Statnett’s share has been calculated at MNOK 250–350
** Total cost of the project. Statnett’s share has been calculated at MNOK 410–480.
**The calculated increase in cost between 2015 and 2016 is attributable to the development of a technical solution where a larger part of the station than previously assumed will be Statnett’s facility. The cost estimate for the project was stated in actual NOK in the 2015 grid development plan, but after the investment decision it is stated in nominal NOK where construction loan interest, adjustment for changes in currency rates and inflation are all included.
***At the time of the decision to commence construction in 2017, the estimated total investment has been adjusted downwards to MNOK 500–540. The is the result of a favourable competitive situation in the market. From this page, you can track the economic development of all our projects.
