Veglofjellet Wind Farm
Project Development
We are considering the possibility of developing more power in Overhalla.
Veglofjellet, Overhalla
The rationale for considering wind power here includes indications of favorable wind conditions, infrastructure, and potential for grid connection, as well as being located in an area with increasing energy demand.
approx. 450GWh

About the Project
This is currently only a proposal, and a plan initiative has been sent to the municipality. There remains an extensive process, through both the Energy Act and the Planning and Building Act, before any potential development permission can be granted. This also involves technical investigations, stakeholder management, and impact assessments.
Why wind power on Veglofjellet?
Up to 20-25 turbines
The number of turbines depends on several factors, such as the size of the planned area, the choice of turbine type, and the optimization of turbine placements based on wind conditions. This number is based on development in both of the preliminary areas, but if the planned areas are reduced, the number of turbines will also be decreased.
Up to 200m height
This is based on the height up to the topmost wing tip of the turbine, which equals the sum of the hub height and rotor radius. The total height will vary depending on the chosen type of turbine, wind conditions, and possibly other environmental factors.
Power production
If both of the preliminary planning areas are developed, it could achieve a power production of up to 400-500 GWh, which corresponds to the electricity consumption of approximately 25,000-35,000 households.
Municipal revenues
The municipality will generate revenue through property tax and a production fee. The property tax depends on the total investment cost in the park, while the production fee is calculated based on the volume of power production, regardless of the electricity price. With a full development in both preliminary planning areas, the municipality could end up with annual revenues of approximately +/- 20 million NOK.
Workplaces
At Aneo's wind farms, local employees handle operations and maintenance, and have a daily presence at the wind farms. Experience shows that there will be a need for 2-4 employees.
Divided planning area
The preliminary planning area includes both Veglofjellet and Vetterhushatten, but further assessments and technical evaluations may lead to the exclusion of certain parts.
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.
Local Ripple Effects
What needs to be built to become operational:
An access road must be constructed within the planning area, along with internal roads and cable networks reaching each individual turbine, service building, transformer station, and a power line from the transformer station to the chosen connection point in the regional grid.
