Norsk Hydro has approved construction of the Illvatn pumped storage power plant in Luster Municipality, marking its largest hydropower investment in more than 20 years. Work is set to begin this mornth, with operations planned for 2030. The plant will add 107GWh of annual renewable generation dedicated to Norsk Hydro's aluminium production.
The Norwegian energy company Statkraft has contracted AFRY to conduct a feasibility study on optimising the operation of Norway's largest pumped storage power plant in Saurdal. The study aims to double the plant's capacity to store surplus renewable energy, thereby enhancing consistent energy supply during peak demand periods.
