Bøsenteret is already producing solar power, and Tuvensenteret is next. Scala Eiendom is putting the rooftops of its shopping centres to work, generating local, renewable energy.

Scala Eiendom develops and operates shopping centres across Norway. As a long-term property owner, the company is committed to creating attractive places for people to visit, with sustainability forming an integral part of that ambition.
"Our goal is for Scala Eiendom to be an efficient and responsible property owner. Every one of our shopping centres has an active environmental plan," says Stian Tørres, Chief Commercial Officer at Scala Eiendom.
Making use of rooftop space to generate renewable energy was therefore a natural next step.
"By installing solar panels on existing roof areas, we can generate renewable electricity while providing our tenants with green energy produced on-site," he continues.
The rollout is being delivered in partnership with Sunday Power, which, together with the energy company NTE, develops, owns and operates solar installations for commercial real estate.
The model enables property owners and tenants to take part in the energy transition without additional land use while delivering an immediate climate benefit.
"We value working with forward-thinking companies like Scala Eiendom. Their ambitious sustainability goals are an inspiration to others. Our role is to make the journey from ambition to operational solar power as simple and seamless as possible," says Ole-Bjørn Horn, Client Executive at Sunday Power.
The first installation was commissioned at Bøsenteret in Bø, Telemark, in November 2025. The system has an installed capacity of 387 kWp.
The solar installation has been well received by the shopping centre, which has already been working systematically to reduce its energy consumption.
"Almost the entire roof is covered with solar panels, and all the electricity generated is used directly in the operation of the shopping centre. It's exciting to be able to produce so much of the electricity we use ourselves," says Fredrik Stokker, Operations Manager at Bøsenteret.
The next project is Tuvensenteret in Notodden, where a 913 kWp solar installation has been signed and is scheduled for completion during the spring.
Among the tenants benefiting from locally generated electricity is Meny.
Together, the two shopping centres welcome more than 2.3 million visitors every year and are popular destinations for both local residents and tourists visiting the region.
"If you stop by Tuvensenteret or Bøsenteret on your way to Bø Sommerland, you can know that a large share of the electricity used in the building comes directly from the roof," Horn concludes.
