The Ministry of Energy has awarded funding to establish a national competence center for onshore wind power.
The competence center will assist municipalities with guidance on issues related to onshore wind. The advisory services do not involve taking a position for or against wind power; that decision rests with each municipal council.
The National Competence Center for Onshore Wind is a collaboration that, in addition to THEMA, includes the National Association of Norwegian Wind Power Municipalities (LNVK) and the law firm Lund & Co DA. There is also a partnership with the Fridtjof Nansen Institute (FNI) and the Norwegian University of Life Sciences (NMBU).
