POWER: Statnett Eases Grid Rules for 10MW Solar Plants with 5MW Battery Systems
POWER
Statnett has simplified grid connections for solar with battery plants, allowing facilities up to 10MW with 5MW battery systems to connect without prior approval, The TSO said today.
- The grid exchange limit is capped at 5MW, with installed production capacity restricted to 10MW, and annual power withdrawal for battery charging limited to 20GWh.
- The 5MW cap reflects current network conditions but may be revisited based on operational experience.
- Regional network companies and Statnett will evaluate whether the limit can be increased over time.
