Engene solar power plant
Vestfold's first solar power plant started production in March 2025 and was officially opened on the 12th of May. On an old sawmill site in Hvarnes in Larvik municipality of Norway, 8,800 solar panels have been installed to create Engene solar power plant.

Through the company Engene Solar AS, Greenstat and our partner Skagerak Kraft have invested ~NOK 45 million in a solar power plant in Lågendalen. The power plant is the third in Norway, and the first in the NO2 power price area. It is also the first to be installed on "grey areas", such as commercial areas that are no longer in use. The power plant will produce electricity equivalent to the annual consumption of 325 households.
The plant is not only Vestfold's first, but also one of the first solar cell plants to be built in Norway that requires a licence. The NVE licence was granted in November 2023.
With an installed capacity of 5.8 MWp and an estimated annual production of 6.1 GWh, it is a moderate size compared to the solar power plants that the companies will be built in the years to come. The Norwegian Parliament has adopted a goal of building 8 TWh by 2030, and the south-eastern part of Norway stands out as an area with good solar resources in this country.
The construction time for the Engene solar power plant has been eight months. The solar power plant to started supplying electricity to the grid in March 2025.
In addition to these projects, more opportunities are being worked on both in Norway and internationally.
