Aker Solutions has secured a contract from Tussa Energi to supply all electromechanical equipment for the Tussa II hydropower plant. The contract is valued between NOK 0.5 billion and NOK 1.5 billion. The plant is located in western Norway. The project will expand the facility’s installed capacity from 64 MW to 150 MW with the addition of two 75 MW Pelton turbine units.
The project is being delivered through a collaboration involving Tussa Energi, Norconsult, and Aurstad Tunnel. Project construction is underway, with project completion and equipment delivery planned for 2030. Aker Solutions’ scope for the project includes turbines, generators, inlet pipes, control systems, high-voltage equipment, transformers, and auxiliary systems.
In April 2026, Hydro Energi AS and Statkraft signed long-term PPAs for 0.9 TWh of annual electricity generation from 2029-30 and 1.3 TWh annually from 2031-38. The agreements secure a total of 12.3 TWh over 10 years for Hydro Energi’s aluminium plants in Norway. Of this, 8.8 TWh will be supplied in NO2 and 3.5 TWh in NO3 price areas. The renewable power will support Hydro Energi’s low-carbon aluminium production.
