Solør Bioenergi, a renewable energy company, completed the acquisition of Oplandske Bioenergi, an owner and operator of 23 different local and district heating facilities in Easter Norway. Financial terms were not disclosed. "We look forward to supporting the further development of sustainable heating solutions in the region. The investment in local and district heating has been – and is – very important to reach overall climate goals. In addition, district heating contributes to relieving the load on the electricity grid, which in turn reduces society’s investment needs, and frees up a lot of electricity capacity for more appropriate purposes than heating, such as electric car charging," Hans M. Moss, Solør Bioenergi Chairman.
