Rejlers to design the expansion of Smørfjord substation for Area Nett in Norway
Rejlers has been awarded a contract by Area Nett AS to design the expansion of Smørfjord substation in the municipality of Porsanger in Finnmark, Norway. The project is part of a major upgrade of the power grid in western Finnmark, aimed at increasing grid capacity and contributing to a more robust and reliable electricity supply in the region.
Area Nett will modernise and expand Smørfjord substation with new transformers and switchgear, along with associated buildings and technical infrastructure. Rejlers will be responsible for overall project and design management, as well as the design of high-voltage installations, buildings and technical infrastructure. The assignment also includes preparing tender documentation for the upcoming construction contracts.
“This is an important project for strengthening the electricity supply in Finnmark. The expansion requires close coordination across several engineering disciplines, where our broad technical expertise will be a valuable asset. We look forward to working with Area Nett to develop future-proof solutions for the new substation,” says Simon Broomé, Business Area Manager within Rejlers' Energy division.
The project presents several technical and practical challenges. The new installations must be integrated with the existing facility, while taking into account local ground conditions, environmental requirements and reindeer herding activities. The work must be completed within a tight timeframe, placing high demands on coordination and collaboration.
“Rejlers has extensive experience of similar projects and expertise in high-voltage installations, buildings and safety. This provides a strong foundation for the continued expansion of Smørfjord substation,” says Stein Bjørgulv Isaksen, Senior Engineer at Area Nett.
Design work is already underway and is expected to be completed in April 2027. The contract also includes options for support during the procurement and construction phases.
