What happened

Well supportedReported by 4 independent outlets

The government of Norway announced plans to simplify application processes and cut red tape for building new onshore wind power plants and transmission lines. This move aims to halve the time required to develop electricity grids. Separately, La Française de l'Énergie reported €29.1 million in revenue for fiscal year 2026, noting that its business model is supported by recurring gas and electricity sales, including an operational biogas plant in Oslo.
