Sunnfjord Business Park
– an attractive location for establishment

Sunnfjord Business Park is located in the most populated area of Sogn og Fjordane, centrally positioned along the E39/Rv5 — midway between Bergen and Ålesund, and between Florø and Sogndal. County Road 613 toward Balestrand also passes by the business park.

Connections to the outside world are quick and convenient, whether traveling by car, bus, or plane. The flight time between Bringeland and Gardermoen is approximately 55 minutes, with five direct departures each way per day.

The first construction phase, K1, of Sunnfjord Business Park was opened in 2020. All plots in this phase have been sold, and many businesses are already established. The goal is for Sunnfjord Business Park to be fully ready by 2027. A dedicated area plan has been approved, and work on a new detailed zoning plan will take place in 2026. The plots are sold fully prepared and with technical infrastructure installed up to the plot boundary.

The entire park, including green areas, will cover 300 decares, while the developed section will be approximately 200 decares. Much of the infrastructure is already in place, but some additional facilitation remains for pedestrian and bicycle paths, as well as a bridge across the Jølstra in the middle of the park.

Sunnfjord Næringspark is located close to Moskog Transformatorstasjon and has a favorable location for utilizing the available surplus power in NO3.

The river Jølstra, which flows straight through the business park, simultaneously lays the foundation for the Jølstra power plant further up the watercourse. The power plant produces 252 GWh. With its transmission (420 kV) and regional grid (132 kV), Moskog is one of the largest power hubs in the country.

The location of the park also makes it attractive to look at self-production of electricity and hot water by setting up solar cells. In addition, thermal energy sources are also relevant. This applies to water from the river Jølstra, outside air and energy wells. Sunnfjord business park is partially built up on mass that was removed in connection with the construction of Jølstra Power Plant. Underneath the area runs the outlet tunnel from the power plant, before it is leased back to Jølstra just before Movatnet. We have therefore looked at the possibility of utilizing the water in this tunnel for cooling, in order to utilize more of the potential in the river without carrying out new interventions in nature.
