Faurefjellet wind farm is located in Bjerkreim municipality and will be connected to Måkaknuten substation through a 10,6 kilometer long 132 kV power line.
The wind farm received the final license in 2017, and is planned to be built with 12 turbines, with a total installed effect of 72 MW. Faurefjellet wind farm is under planning and the projects detail plan is now under evaluation at NVE.
Faurefjellet wind farm will be a part of the contribution to Norway’s commitment related to EU’s renewable directive, and will be a part of the goal of reducing greenhouse gas emissions. The wind farm will also contribute to lower power prices and give increased competitiveness for industry in Norway.
