Statkraft reported Friday that there will not be any of the plans for osmotic power plant at Sunndalsøra. The license was in place in the spring, and there were hopes that construction could start in 2014. Thus it is not.
– Statkraft concludes its commitment to the development of osmotic power. With the current market outlook the company recognizes that it will not have developed the technology sufficient to be competitive in the foreseeable future, the company writes in a press release.
pilot plant in Sunnyvale was scheduled to have an effect on one to two megawatts, which would have been equivalent to consumption of 250 to 500 households. The reason that Statkraft treasurer plans is that other technologies have evolved in recent years will be more competitive. This will also Statkraft rather invest elsewhere.
plans for a possible osmotic power plant in Sunnyvale has been under discussion for over ten years. The pilot plant could have been the first in the world of the intended size. The facility would be located in the area between Litjdalselva and marina Sunndalsøra.
