Reinforcing Lofoten’s electricity supply
21.9.2023
Elmea is the network company within Lofotkraft Group, a regional power company owned by the six municipalities of the Lofoten archipelago in Norway. The region is currently in a green transition, where tourism, fisheries, shipyards and aquaculture are all adopting more sustainable practices. As part of this transition, the electricity supply in Lofoten is being reinforced. In September 2023 Rejlers signed an agreement to support Elmea with technical expertise.
In a project to ensure a reliable power supply fit for the future in the region, Rejlers will contribute with expertise in the design of several 22kV line and cable routes, including ground, sea and overhead power lines as well as substations. Rejlers will lead the project with particular attention given to environmental and safety aspects.
“This is a long-term investment that will benefit both residents and businesses in Lofoten. Our main challenge is to meet the increasing demand for capacity in an efficient way, and this project is an important part of that work” – Pål Martinussen, CEO of Elmea.
