Current power demand at construction sites

Mapping to assess power consumption and limitations of power connections at construction sites in Norway. What causes peaks in power demand, and what should be included in contract requirements for the automatic collection of consumption data from zero-emission construction sites?

Sweco has conducted a study on behalf of the Climate Agency in the City of Oslo. The purpose of the survey was to collect data from ongoing construction projects within the municipality to gain a better overview of energy, and particularly power demands, for zero-emission and partially zero-emission projects. This is intended to provide the municipality and the industry with a better knowledge base regarding actual power capacity and energy needs.

The final delivery contains findings from the survey of data and related data analysis for ongoing construction projects: Tøyenbadet, Stovnerbad, Sophies Minde, and selected historical infrastructure projects. In the work of mapping energy and power demands, the following general points and issues, regardless of construction and infrastructure projects, should be addressed:
– To what extent is power availability a limiting factor for the operation of zero-emission construction sites?
– Proposals to avoid undesirable power peaks.
– Specify the necessary prerequisites for optimal planning by contractors and developers.
– Assess the measures and prerequisites needed to optimize the planning of a zero-emission construction site.
For each of the analyzed construction projects, the objective has been to analyze energy needs, power demands, and the causes of power peaks.
