(4 July 2013) Sauland kraftverk AS has started detailed planning of the future power plant in Hjartdal municipality. In order to have the power plant in operation by 2020, the work is under way before the NVE has issued its recommendation concerning the licence application.

The NVE has recommended granting a licence for Sauland Power Plant. However, the conditions are significantly more stringent than expected. If they prevail, it will be very difficult to go ahead with the development.

Sauland Power Plant suggests reducing development of the planned power plant in Hjartdal. The licence application is now undergoing final consideration by the Ministry of Petroleum and Energy.
