Koppang Solar Plant
Project Development
Renewable solar power in Stor-Elvdal
Koppang, Stor-Elvdal
Aneo has proposed building a solar power plant at Varpåsen in Koppang, Stor-Elvdal municipality.
Expected Annual Production
48 GWh
Estimated Installed Capacity
47
Number of panels
73,332
About the Project
The investigation program and draft investigation topics were submitted to NVE in December 2024. The next step will be for NVE to send out the notification for consultation and finally establish the investigation program. The subsequent impact assessment will clarify which considerations will be taken, but Aneo expects to allocate some areas for wildlife territories/passages and key biotopes to preserve biodiversity.
Area planning zone: 791 decares
Installed inverter capacity: 40 MW
Why is Koppang suitable for a solar power plant?
Good sun conditions
Large parts of the planning area have been recently cleared.
Good infrastructure in the local area.
Why Aneo?
The renewable energy group Aneo was established in the fall of 2022 through a collaboration between the energy company TrønderEnergi and the investment fund HitecVision. We have just over 180 employees, with our headquarters in Trondheim.
Aneo is built on 70 years of experience in the development and operation of large power projects. Aneo owns and operates 13 wind farms and two solar power plants in Norway, Sweden, and Finland, with production in all three countries. Additionally, the group holds a stake in Sunna Group AB, which develops, builds, and operates solar power plants in Sweden. Aneo also has several subsidiaries in areas such as energy services, mobility, and development.
We have extensive experience collaborating with municipalities, where we have built strong relationships with both residents, politicians, and the administration. Together with local authorities, we are creating the energy solutions of the future, with a focus on safety and presence in the local community.
One of the things that sets us apart from most of our competitors is that when Aneo seeks to build a wind power plant in a Norwegian municipality, it's with long-term intentions in mind, not to sell the project or power plant onward. We invest to build, build to own, and own to operate. This means that we are here now, during any construction process, and of course, every single day throughout the power plant's lifespan.
Proposed Plan Area
Aneo plans to build a solar power plant at Varpåsen in Koppang, Stor-Elvdal municipality. The planned area has good solar exposure and is relatively sheltered as well as close to technical infrastructure. The planned site is located approximately 50 km north of Rena (figure 1).
(Figure 1)
The planned area has good access up from Koppang center. The only roads that need to be constructed are internal roads and a production radial down to the Koppang transformer station (figure 2).
