Fagne recently carried out a comprehensive tender process for framework agreements covering consultancy services in planning and design. The Company has now signed agreements with five firms, with Norconsult emerging as the highest-ranked bidder. The competence of the designated specialists was assessed as being especially strong.
“We look forward to this collaboration and the opportunities it brings to help us achieve our goals for grid development and secure electricity supply in the region,” says Arne E. Haukås, Head of Design and Contract Manager for the framework agreement at Fagne.
Since 1929, Norconsult has played a key role in the development of Norwegian hydropower and the national electricity grid. Our mission has always been to contribute our expertise to deliver clean and reliable electric power to society. Today, Norconsult is Norway’s largest technical consultancy in renewable energy, offering services including feasibility studies and the design of power lines, substations and high-voltage installations at all voltage levels.
“This partnership with Fagne is highly significant for Norconsult, particularly for our local offices in the region. We regard Fagne as an experienced and forward-thinking client, and we look forward to providing our expertise and capacity to support their ambitions in the years ahead”
Fagne is responsible for critical infrastructure across an area of more than 5,000 square kilometres. The company supplies electricity to around 150,000 residents in 15 municipalities across Haugalandet, Sunnhordland, inner Ryfylke and parts of Hardanger. In terms of length, the regional grid exceeds the combined total of all national highways in Norway.
