Proposed Rule Changes For Solar Energy

Recently, a series of interesting initiatives have been introduced with the goal of amplifying renewable energy production from solar power. At Hjort, we are closely monitoring this progressive and promising endeavor.

Proposed Modifications in Concession Obligation Rules for Solar Power Plants

On February 5, 2024, NVE proposed modifications to the regulations determining which solar power plants require a concession under the Energy Act. As per the existing rules, solar power plants need a concession if the establishment of high-voltage facilities is necessary for power distribution to the grid. NVE's suggestion is to implement a power limit of 5 MW, which would primarily affect larger, ground-mounted facilities.
