In addition to the wind turbines, new infrastructure such as roads and power lines, as well as a new, centrally located transformer, will be constructed.

Impact assessments
Statkraft applied for a licence for Selbjørn Wind Farm in September 2004. Impact assessments were carried out in accordance with the assessment programme determined by the Norwegian Water Resources and Energy Directorate (NVE). The assessments were conducted by independent consultants. In connection with the planning and assessment work, several consultation meetings were held with Austevoll District Council, regional authorities and the local population.
