Stokkfjellet Wind Farm 2
Project Development
Installation of turbines at Stokkfjellet
Stokkfjellet, Selbu
Within the concession area of the Stokkfjellet wind farm, there is a section in the southern part that is not utilized, while there is additional available grid capacity at the Nea substation. This makes it technically possible to install more turbines within the concession boundaries and use the same access road and power line as the existing wind farm.

About the Project
Area Regulation for Stokkfjellet Wind Farm
According to the Planning and Building Act § 12-8, the initiation of the area regulation plan for Stokkfjellet Wind Farm in Selbu Municipality is announced. The proposer is Aneo AS and the planning consultant is Multiconsult Norge AS.
The purpose of the planning work is to regulate the existing wind farm with an access road and to facilitate the expansion of the facility for new wind and solar power production. The size of the planning area is approximately 6.5 square kilometers. The main purposes of the regulatory plan will be the energy area and access road.
Why an expansion of Stokkfjellet Wind Farm?
Stokkfjellet Wind Farm was completed by the end of 2021, based on the conditions from the legally binding license received from the OED in 2017. It is now seen that it is possible to densify the park with up to 9 new turbines within the same licensing boundaries. This appears to be a good opportunity to increase the production of new renewable energy with minimal new interventions;
Reuse of the existing access road and power line.
Expansion of the existing transformer building.
Reuse of the operations and service building.
Increased revenues for the municipality due to increased power production.
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 300 employees, with our headquarters in Trondheim.
Aneo is built on 70 years of experience in developing and operating large power projects and owns and operates nine wind farms in Central Norway, as well as two in Sweden and one in Finland. In fact, despite our modest size, we are Norway's second-largest developer of wind power. We operate more than 200 wind turbines and monitor production around the clock for optimal operation, efficiency, and safety.
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.
Technical information about the project
The entire plan area covers approximately 5.8 km2 in Selbu municipality in Trøndelag, of which Stokkfjellet 2 wind farm covers about 2.5 km2. The existing park has 21 wind turbines installed, each with a capacity of 4.2 MW per turbine, a hub height of 112m, and a rotor diameter of 136m. In the southern part, there is space for up to 9 turbines of the same size as in the existing park.
New power production is approximately 125 GWh, equivalent to the electricity consumption of about 7500 households.
What needs to be constructed includes internal roads and cables to each individual turbine, foundations, parking spaces, as well as the installation of the turbines and an expansion of the existing transformer station. The existing access road, internal road network, power line, and operation and service building can be reused from the existing park, thus resulting in fewer new interventions than if the same number of turbines were installed elsewhere.
