How can we ensure enough power for the Kongsvinger region, with as little interference with nature as possible?
The region needs more residents of working age and attractive jobs. In order to retain and create jobs in the region, industry and business need more power for growth and a green transition.
Our challenge is that we currently produce too little renewable energy in the winter months, when the need is greatest. In addition, we have too poor a power grid to import more power than we already do today.
The Kongsvinger region is a collaboration between the municipalities of Grue, Eidskog, Kongsvinger, Nord-Odal, Sør-Odal and Åsnes to succeed in industrial and commercial development.
