Driving forces/Pressure

The powerlines In Vennesla are beeing spread, and the reason is that new residential areas are being buildt. Because of this, the use of electrisity is rising. Most of the population is doing very little to cut down the use of electricity, and new equipment in housekeeping is demanding more electricity. When so much electrisity is being used, the consumption must be covered , and the conditions have to be good. All this leads to more powerlines. Even if the prices rise, the consumption doesn't fall.

Almost every housekeeping in Vennesla has a computer, TV, stereo, warming-cabels, aircondition, and other equipment that demands more power than before.

The municipality doesn't want any of the inhabitants to move, so they build more powerlines to cover the consumption. Powerlines are also being built over the municipality so that the powerdeliver can transport the power to other neighbourmunicipalities and counties
