– This project is one of the larger and priority projects now in Statkraft. And we look forward to starting upgrades by 2030, says project manager at Statkraft, Hanne Kristin Husetuft Ommedal. Statkraft applies for a license to modernize Noreverka in Nore and Uvdal municipality in Buskerud. The modernization has a limit of NOK 4 billion. The new power plant can deliver more power when the needs are greatest, and will thus contribute to more stable electricity prices. – The construction time will be three to four years. If we are granted a license, we look forward to starting up at the construction site in 2029, and that the facility will be in operation from 2033, says project manager Hanne Kristin Husetuft Ommedal in Statkraft.

Me secures operations, jobs and income for the municipality, says Ommedal. By modernizing power plants that need extensive rehabilitation anyway, one can have more effect, and in some cases more energy, out of the same lake. It is also important for the care of the nature and environment, reports Statkraft. – In the next few years, Statkraft will build the next generation of hydropower system and will start five major upgrades by 2030. The license application for upgrading and expansion of Noreverka is an important step in that direction, says CEO Birgitte Ringstad Vartdal in Statkraft. The castle in Nore and Uvdal – Me has great opportunities to upgrade hydropower in Norway today, and I am very pleased that I can help develop hydropower, says Mayor of Nore and Uvdal, Oddvar Svendsen (Frp). Mayor of Nore and Uvdal, Oddvar Svendsen (Frp), is proud of the building, and says that it is drawn by the same architect behind the castle.

This is our castle in Nore and Uvdal. A unique building to look at. Me is very happy that it is peaceful, so it is preserved. Everyone in the municipality is proud of it. – Who is the pleasure of the stream produced in Nore and Uvdal? – The time the power plant here was built, a hundred years ago, it was to give stream to Oslo. The transfer lines and the regional network, it goes the same way. It goes to central areas, Svendsen replies. 70 times more power than the hammer in Maridalen Nore in the power plant was completed in 1928, while Nore II began to produce in 1946. The plant is located in the Numedalsvassdraget, which starts on the Hardangervidda. The lake Norefjord is located in Nore and Uvdal municipality in Buskerud. The Norefjord is unregulated, but the power plant Nore II and Uvdal II have an outlet at the north end of the sea. Photo: Tordis Gauteplass \/ news Nore in produces 70 times more power than Hammeren power plant in the Maridalen, which provided the capital of 1900 and was built to meet the power requirement for the entire Oslo. -When the first Nore plant was built, the largest in the country was, and produced a fifth of all streams in Norway. The power plant was also a catalyst for the industrialization of Oslo. And now, a hundred years later, I will ensure that it supplies society with electricity for a hundred more years, says Statkraft Vice President, Birgitte Ringstad Vardal. – We will invest tens of billions of kroner in securing Norwegian homes and companies stream in the electrical outlet, says Statkraft Executive Vice President, Birgitte Ringstad Vartdal. Photo: Lars Tore Endresen \/ news Moving the power plant into the mountain Nore in is among Europe’s oldest power plant which is still in operation, in addition it is a spectacular and protected building. Statkraft looks at two alternatives for the upgrade: The pre -made alternative is to collect the facilities for one power plant in the mountain, but there is also an alternative where the two power plants are moved into mountains from where they are now. Facts about Noreverka and Statkraft’s two alternative Nore I: In operation in 1928, 212 MW installed power, 1142 GWh in annual production. It was built to deliver power for general supply in Austlandet. The power plant utilizes the fall between the Tunhovdfjord and the center of R\u00f8dberg. The water from the power plant runs out into the R\u00f8dberg Dam, where it collapsed before it is utilized further in Nore II. The minimum waterfall from the R\u00f8dberg dam is utilized in the new and smaller R\u00f8dberg power plant. Nore II: In operation in 1946, 60 MW installed power, 323 GWh in annual production. It is at the inlet of Numedalsl\u00e5gen in Norefjord and utilizes the fall between the R\u00f8dberg Dammen and Norefjord. Alternative: Alternative 1: New Nore power plant New Nore power plant is built in Fjell and gets a new intake in the Tunhovdfjord, new waterways and a new outlet to the Norefjord. The power plant will be installed power of 500 MW, and annual production is calculated to approx. In addition, the 1700 GWh alternative includes the R\u00f8dberg pump which receives intake in the outlet tunnel for a new Nore power plant and outlet to Uvdalselvi. R\u00f8dberg pump gets installed power of 2.1 MW and will ensure minimum watering in the river. Alternative 2: New Nore in power plants and new Nore II power plant New Nore in the power plant is built in Fjell and gets a new intake in the Tunhovdfjord, new waterways and a new outlet to the R\u00f8dberg Dam. The power plant will be installed power of 268 MW, and annual production is calculated to approximately 1300 GWh. New Nore II power plant is also built in Fjell and will use on today’s intake in the R\u00f8dberg Dam and today’s inlet tunnel, and will have a new outlet to the Norefjord. The power plant will be installed on 69 MW, and annual production is calculated to over 300 GWh. Further process: The license application will now be processed by the Norwegian Water Resources and Energy Directorate (NVE), and as part of this, a hearing process is implemented. It is the Ministry of Energy that decides on a possible license and the conditions for it. When a license is granted, the company will decide whether the project can be implemented and make an investment decision. The first option will almost double the power from 274 to 500 MW, and increase the current production by about 200 GWh to approx. 1700 GWh. The second option will increase the overall effect by 65 MW and increase production by over 150 GWh – in the future there will be a great need to be able to regulate power generation, to deliver more power in a short time. Therefore, I see the whole time if it is possible to increase the effect in the plant. Greater effects can help to reduce price peaks, as increasingly unregulated, renewable power is entering the power mix. New Nore power plants will be important for the region and for Norway, says project manager in Statkraft, Hanne Kristin Husetuft Ommedal. Large investments in Norsk Hydtraft Statkraft have the ambition to carry out several major upgrades over the next few years. In total, it will increase the installed effect of Statkraft in Norway by more than 20 per cent, and give between 1500 and 2500 MW increased power. This is one of the ways to meet the need for the future. Only after the license is granted will the final decision on investment in Nore-power plants can be taken. – Upgrading hydropower plants required large investments and is often marginally wage, says CEO Vartdal. She points out that there are many considerations that will be taken, including influence on the environment, landowners and locals. – Me will also have to make a total assessment based on access to capital and an assessment of the project that provides the most benefit. What is certain, however, is that I will invest dozens of NOK to secure Norwegian homes and companies stream in the socket for future generations. The license application for the renovation of Noreverka is a good example of this, concludes CEO Birgitte Ringstad Vartdal. Published 02.05.2025, at. 13.47
