In February 2007 the Norwegian Water Resources and Energy Directorate (NVE) turned down Statkraft’s application to build and operate a wind farm north of Langevåg in Bømlo. The proposed wind farm had been planned with a total installed capacity of 42-65 MW. Statkraft’s licence application was filed in November 2005.

The planning of a new wind farm in Norway is a complicated process which normally takes several years. A thorough and open process is intended to ensure that all sides of a new wind power project are brought to light before the authorities make a decision with respect to a licence application. Here is an overview of wind power projects for which Statkraft has not yet formally applied for a licence.
