– In the long term, there are only three measures that are possible: More power, more networks and more efficient use of energy. This was said by Oil and Energy Minister Terje Aasland (Ap) during the emergency meeting at the Storting earlier this autumn, when the electricity crisis was on the agenda. Since then, the government has put forward plans for power development and six measures to save electricity, including lower temperatures in the office. But what about the third factor – the development of the network? Here the figure shows that the operating income of those who build out the network has started to point downwards. The figure includes the turnover of the 21 largest energy contractors in Norway. Together, these have more than 90 percent of the market. – It is disturbing reading The energy contractors employ over 3,000 people, and are considered “a canary” for construction activity in the renewables sector. In other words, a measure of how things are going with the green shift. The downward curve is therefore received with concern. – It is disturbing reading. Several energy contractors are reporting vacant capacity, and there are no signs that the number of orders will increase in 2023. This is according to business policy adviser J\u00f8rgen Thaule at Energi Norge. He calls the development “critical” and “a paradox in the situation Norway is in”. “Energy contractors are among the most important players in switching from fossil fuels to renewable energy,” he says. The corresponding signal comes from Tore Morten Wetterhus in Glitre Nett. – There is a lot of talk about increasing electrification and how we can reach the climate targets. There is less talk about the infrastructure needed to make this happen, he told the energy newspaper Europower earlier this autumn. New figures show that the turnover of those who build out the electricity network has started to point downwards.

He says “the order books for next year don’t look as they should”. He characterizes the situation as “challenging, especially when it comes to expanding the regional power grid”: – We are ready to mobilize for the green shift, but now there are not enough jobs. The same is true of \u00d8ystein S\u00f8raas in Kraftmontasje, which is located on the south side of the Romsdalsfjorden. – If the amount of work and activity does not increase, the number of apprentices will decrease. Then it takes a long time to build up that capacity, he says. Last year, Statnett received 172 applications from companies wishing to connect to the internet. In comparison, there were 5 applications for connection in 2016. In September, the Ministry of Petroleum and Energy asked NVE to establish a “fast track” to speed up development. The contrast between building activity and the “accumulation of applications” was part of the foundation. – There are several measures that can and should be implemented to achieve faster grid development, said Oil and Energy Minister Terje Aasland (Ap). Mongstad is among the business parks in Western Norway that need power and lines to carry the power forward. Photo: Marit Hommedal \/ NTB Waiting time of between 7 and 14 years Behind the minister’s initiative was the report “Nett i tide”, which the Straumnettutvalet published in June. According to the selection, the waiting time for new regional and national power lines is between 7 and 14 years. According to the selection, the use of time is an obstacle to establishing battery factories, breeding facilities, data centres, infrastructure for ammonia and hydrogen production, CO\u2082 storage, and charging facilities for ferries, buses and electric cars. Oil and Energy Minister Terje Aasland (Ap) is calling for more power, more networks and more efficient use of energy. Photo: Oddgeir \u00d8ystese \/ news – It is high time that the minister took the spoon in another hand. Here in Western Norway, there are power developments that already have a licence, but where the grid capacity will not arrive for five years, said the parliamentary representative for H\u00f8gre, Ove Trellevik. In Western Norway, business parks in Mongstad, in Skipavik, Kollsnes and \u00c5gotnes have for a long time been “screaming” for power and lines to carry it forward. Naturverdiar means that the new fast track is initially reserved for construction projects that have “little or no conflict in them”. Thaule in Energi Noreg says that they support the idea of \u200b\u200ba fast track: – We badly need a change of pace when it comes to grid development.
