OSLO, Norway–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Heimdall Power, a world leader in the monitoring of overhead power lines, today announced a groundbreaking project with Netz Niederösterreich (NNÖ) in Austria. This new deal marks the largest project in the company’s history, building on recent successes with Great River Energy in the U.S. and Fagne in Norway.
Following a competitive tender process, Heimdall Power has been selected to provide 200 Neuron overhead line sensors to the Austrian DSO Netz Niederösterreich GmbH, with potential expansion to 270 sensors under the existing contract.

Jørgen Festervoll, CEO of Heimdall Power, expressed his enthusiasm about the new venture, giving the following statement: “Today marks yet another milestone for Heimdall Power, announcing the biggest DLR-contract in the history of the company and perhaps in the world! It’s been a thorough process with NNÖ leading up to this point, and we are now excited to announce it to the world and to get started. The 10-year timeline for the contract is a first for Heimdall Power, and underlines the long term relationship we are building with our customers. We look forward to working closely with NNÖ over the next years, making sure they get the most out of our solutions both from existing and potential future use-cases.”
