Grytendal power plant

Grytendal power plant was granted a license on 31 January 2007. At that time, the project was operated by Nord-Trøndelag elektrisitetsverk (NTE).

NGKU took over the project in late summer 2016 and the license expired in January 2017. For this reason, NGKU had to work very intensively on the project up to the investment decision and construction. The project was redesigned and solutions were discussed with suppliers, consultants and NTE. Just before Christmas 2016, the investment decision was made, and the project is now in the construction phase.

Grytendal is located in a valley where the only access is by boat, unless you want to walk. Existing quays and roads in Kolsvik will be used. All materials and deliveries to the plant will be transported by boat into the Tosenfjord. The plant is in operation, with final rounding and some minor remaining work in spring 2019.
