Locally produced power in Briksdal

Briksdal mini power plant

Briksdal Minikraft was commissioned with one turbine in 2007. In 2012, we received a license to expand production with an additional turbine. This was commissioned in 2017. This way, we have maintained our green, short-haul power for many years.
