Norwegian solar developer Energeia has been granted a 46 MWp solar concession, the largest in Norway to date. This milestone is part of the Norwegian Water Resources and Energy Directorate’s (NVE) first round of solar concessions and marks a key development in the country’s evolving energy landscape. The news reflects a broader trend of increasing solar capacity in Norway, which added 49 MW in the first half of 2025 alone, as reported by PVKnowhow [https://www.pvknowhow.com/news/norway-solar-growth-shocking-49-mw-added-in-2025/].
Norway Solar Energy: 46 MWp Concession Secured
The concession was awarded for the Raufoss Solar Power Plant, a 46 MWp project set for development at Raufoss Industrial Park, one of Norway’s largest industrial facilities. Expected to generate 44 million kWh of electricity annually—enough to power approximately 2,750 households—the plant will help meet the energy demands of the park’s industrial tenants, including companies like Nammo, Raufoss Technology, Hexagon Ragasco, and Benteler Automotive.
Significantly, the Raufoss Solar Power Plant will be constructed on a 200-decare plot of land previously used for waste disposal and landfill activities. This demonstrates a forward-thinking approach to repurposing such sites for renewable energy generation.
Energeia’s Commitment to Norway Solar Energy
Energeia is a Norwegian company specializing in solar power and battery storage solutions, aiming to develop a substantial project portfolio across Norway, Sweden, and Denmark. The company utilizes a unique, vertically integrated business model, managing the entire project lifecycle—from initial development and construction to ongoing operation—to ensure quality and efficiency at every stage.

This comprehensive approach is reinforced by a partnership with Morrow Batteries to develop and operate battery storage systems in Norway. This strategic integration of solar with storage is designed to enhance grid stability and reliability, marking a critical step forward for the country’s energy infrastructure. It also supports Norway’s broader exploration of adding solar to its national grid, where studies suggest a potential capacity of 31 GW of rooftop solar PV [https://www.pvknowhow.com/news/31-gw-of-solar-pv-can-be-installed-in-norway/].
Energeia’s CEO, Frank Sagvik, emphasized the project’s significance: “The Raufoss Solar Power Plant is a significant milestone for Energeia and the Norwegian renewable energy sector. We are proud to contribute to the country’s energy transition and to help meet the growing demand for clean energy.”
Challenges and Future Prospects for Norway Solar Energy
Despite these positive developments, Norway’s solar market faces hurdles. Growth has been slower than in other nations, primarily due to the country’s long-standing reliance on abundant hydropower.
However, the government’s increasing emphasis on diversifying its energy mix and reducing carbon emissions is opening new opportunities for solar developers, as highlighted in a recent report on Norway’s solar energy market [https://www.pvknowhow.com/solar-report/norway/]. Furthermore, initiatives like a program to train 8,000 individuals in renewable energy skills [https://www.pvknowhow.com/news/norway-solar-energy-program-boost-renewable-expertise/] demonstrate the country’s growing commitment to the sector.
Energeia’s success with the Raufoss Solar Power Plant concession shows its ability to navigate market complexities and capitalize on emerging prospects. The company’s focus on large-scale projects and innovation has established it as a leader in the Norwegian solar market.
Looking ahead, Energeia plans to expand its solar and battery storage portfolio, aiming to play a crucial role in the Nordic region’s sustainable energy transition. The Raufoss project exemplifies this dedication, marking a significant step for Norway’s renewable energy sector and the future of Norway solar power [https://www.pvknowhow.com/news/solar-energy-norway-growth-transitioning-renewables/]. With continued government support and increasing demand for clean energy, Energeia is well-positioned to make a lasting impact on the Nordic energy landscape.
