The incident was reported to the emergency services at around 17:15. The leak was stopped at 18:45. No injuries have been reported. Hafslund has crews on site and is excavating the affected area and carrying out repairs.

The rupture has left large parts of Oslo without hot water and heating on Wednesday evening. Hafslund’s priority is to restore the district heating supply as quickly as possible.

The cause of the leak is currently unknown. We are working continuously to repair the damage, focusing on restoring the normal district heating supply. The incident will be thoroughly investigated to determine its cause and reviewed.

Unfortunately, 1,500 homes in the Grønland area will be without district heating overnight from Wednesday to Thursday, 5 November. Normal service is expected to resume during Thursday.

We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience caused by the leak.

Those affected who have a registered address and telephone number in the specified area will be notified directly.

Updates will be posted regularly on hafslund.no .
