Nordic Iron Ore has entered an engineering agreement with VB Elnät to determine required measures in order to enable connection to the electric grid. In order to re-start mining activity in Blötberget, Nordic Iron Ore needs access to a maximum capacity of 20 MW. Nordic Iron Ore has previously signed a Letter of Intent with Hitachi Energy regarding installation and operations of a permanent 50/10 kV power station which will supply the mining area with electrical power.
During construction of the mine and the power station, access to temporary power supply will be necessary to make preparatory work such as construction of ramp, lighting, ventilation and drainage of water.
In order for Nordic Iron Ores facility to connect to the power grid, VB Elnät must evaluate required measures in its own electric grid and prepare documentation for applications for necessary permits, partly for the temporary usage of electrical power and partly for the permanent connection of the 50/10 kV power station.
The indicative time plan for this planning is that Nordic Iron Ore will be able to use 1 MW during the autumn 2023 and gradually increase its usage to a maximum capacity of 20 MW during 2024-2025.
