300 kV line Vemork-Flesaker
300 kV line Tokke-Flesaker
300 kV line Hof-Flesaker
132 kV line Grønnvollfoss-Skollenborg
132 kV line Hof-Skollenborg
66 kV line Klyve-Sima
66 kV line Bu-Granvin
22/66 kV transformer Granvin station
22/11 kV transformer Hakestad (Ulvik) station

where the first mentioned nodes are located in the southwestern area (NO2).

A southeastern Norway Elspot/Elbas area (NO1) limited by the

420 kV line Rød-Hasle

132 kV single busbar at Litjfossen

where the second mentioned nodes are located in the southeastern area (NO1).

A western Norway Elspot/Elbas area (NO5) limited by the

132 kV double busbar at Åskåra, with one busbar in each area (NO5 and NO3)
300 kV line Samnanger-Mauranger
300 kV line Fardal-Aurland
66 kV line Granvin-Bu
66/22 kV transformer Granvin station
11/22 kV transformer Hakestad (Ulvik) station

where the first mentioned nodes are located in the western area (NO5).

A middle Norway Elspot/Elbas area (NO3) limited by the

300 kV line Vågåmo-Øvre Vinstra
132 kV single busbar at Litjfossen
132 kV double busbar at Åskåra, with one busbar in each area (NO5 and NO3)
