Statoil has been given permission to build a small-scale, integrated combined-heat and power (CHP) station to make the Tjeldbergodden industrial complex in mid-Norway more electricity self-sufficient. The planned CHP station will improve the industrial complex’s regularity and has the potential to reduce emissions. Estimated investment costs are placed at some NOK 85 million. The project will now move on to applying for regulatory approval, further detailing and inviting tenders with a view to a final investment decision during the third quarter of 2007.
