Lång

The facilty is planned to include solar panels on ground-mounted racks, inverters, step-up transformers, switching stations, substations, energy storage facilities, power lines and communication networks, roads and service buildings. llmatar is applying in parallel for a building permit on the property for the energy storage facility as it is subject to planning permission. The various components of the solar park are required to convert the direct current produced by the solar panels into alternating current and then transport the energy to the regional electricity grid.

Network concession for line

In order to connect the Grums Lång solar park to the overlying grid, Ilmatar intends to apply for a grid licence for a new 130 kV power line between the solar park and the Borgvik station.  

The consultation document presents two main route alternatives. At present, there is no recommended alternative, but a recommended alternative will be developed after opinions from those affected have been received during the consultation and processed. The total length of the new power line will be approximately 12-14 kilometres depending on which option is finally selected.

After the consultation, a consultation report and environmental impact assessment will be prepared. Finally, the application for a network licence will be submitted to the Swedish Energy Markets Inspectorate (Ei), which is the authority that issues network licences.

The consultation phase is completed.
