Trengereid is a village in the borough of Arna in the municipality of Bergen in Hordaland county, Norway.

History

In 1895, Johan Jebsen established a factory in Trengereid. The factory produced ribbons and lace, and it had its own power plant. Today the Trengereid power plant has been modernized and is operated by BKK. Previously there was also mining at nearby Risnes, where lime was extracted.

Infrastructure
