Iverson eFuels to discontinue green ammonia project in Norway due to grid capacity

- Iverson eFuels has decided to discontinue its plans for a green ammonia plant in Sauda due to the withdrawal of allocated grid capacity and uncertainty regarding future access. The company regrets the decision, thanks its partners, and will now explore the possibility of establishing a data centre to create new activity in Sauda.
Before Christmas, it became known that Statnett had withdrawn the previously allocated grid capacity of 270 MW as a result of the project being more than two years delayed compared to the original timeline. Statnett has stated that new capacity may only become available once the upgraded grid is completed, expected in the period 2033–2035. At the same time, there is no guarantee as to when the upgraded grid will be ready.
For Iverson, such an uncertain situation regarding the completion of new grid capacity is not compatible with further development of the project. On this basis, Iverson has decided to terminate the project concerning green ammonia production in Sauda.
We naturally find this highly regrettable. Iverson, Sauda municipality and a number of partners have invested significant resources in developing the project, and we would like to extend our sincere thanks to everyone who has contributed to the process.
