Project Development Utility-scale Project financing Grid connection Norway

What will it take to get more Solar & BESS projects built in Norway?

with Kristian L. Gautesen as moderator (Endra AS) , Jarl Egil Markussen (Energeia) , Cecilie Arnemo Åsmul (Innlandet Fornybar) , Simon Joneklav (SEB)

Norway’s pipeline of utility-scale solar and storage projects is growing, but moving projects from development and permitting into FID and construction remains difficult. Questions around capture prices, investor return requirements, construction risk, grid access and how much value BESS can realistically add are still holding projects back.

This webinar was held in October 2026, but the recordings are still available!

Key topics

  • The FID Bottleneck: Understanding why fully permitted projects in Norway still struggle to reach Final Investment Decision

  • Blueprint for Success: Analyzing the defining characteristics of Norwegian projects that have successfully advanced to the construction phase

  • Unlocking Capital: Examining the exact requirements and risk mitigation strategies lenders and investors need to see before committing funds

  • The BESS Advantage: Evaluating how co-located battery storage impacts overall project economics and how much of that upside is actually bankable today

  • What needs to change: How grid access, connection processes, market conditions and the regulatory framework can help more projects move into construction
