Landinfra Energy is investigating the possibility of building a solar park for the production of renewable energy near Hensåsen in the municipality of Rakkestad in Norway. The area that Landinfra is investigating covers an area of 256.2 hectares and is located about 8 kilometers southwest of Rakkestad in the county of Østfold, a region in great need of more electricity production.

The proposed farm has a potential capacity of around 215 MWp, which provides an opportunity to produce around 251 GWh of electricity each year, enough to produce household electricity for around 15,000 Norwegian households. Provided that the project receives the necessary permits, the plan is to start construction in 2026/2027 in order to be able to put the wind farm into operation in 2027/2028.

Landinfra intends to start the concession process for Hensåsen’s solar park in Rakkestad municipality. As part of this work, the company submitted a report with a proposal for an investigation program to the Norwegian Water Resources and Energy Directorate (NVE) in the spring. The next step in the process is a decision from NVE to send out Landinfra’s documentation for the project for reference to landowners, neighbours and other stakeholders linked to the project.
