Renewable energy in Norway

OverviewGreen certificatesHydroelectric powerWind powerTransportSee alsoExternal links

Norway is a heavy producer of renewable energy because of hydropower. Over 99% of the electricity production in mainland Norway is from 31 GW hydropower plants (86 TWh reservoir capacity, storing water from summer to winter). The average hydropower is 133 TWh/year (135.3 TWh in 2007). There is also a large potential in wind power, offshore wind power and wave power, as well as p

The solar revolution and what it can mean for Norway

Solar power in Norway. In contrast to many European countries, Norway does not have fossil power plants that need to be replaced by renewable electricity production. Norwegian hydropower is currently so cheap that power companies do not consider it attractive to build solar power plants in Norway. In recent years, however, companies have
