With the need to reduce climate change and transition to zero emmision we have seen an increase in other renewable sources. Wind power is still a small part of the total output, but the number of wind turbines are increasing, and several projects are in the pipeline especially after the new areas for offshore wind was announced.
In the last decade, wind power has increasingly become a part of the Norwegian power production. The Norwegian Government plans to open an area totalling five to six times the size of Southern North Sea II, or roughly 1 % of Norway’s sea areas. This will be done in stages by 2040.
With areas dedicated for offshore energy production and the rapid technology development we hope to see a mix of renewable resources in the future.
On a smaller scale, production of biogas, energy recovery and district heating can be useful in industrial parks, we want to be able to connect companies with excess heat or water that can be used for other companies.
Challenges of Ocean EnergyNordvestlandet is well-prepared for the development of ocean energy.This is the view of the project group Krafttak Nordvest. However, there are several challenges in the sea related to coexistence, including with nature and the fishing industry.Read report04/07/2024The electricity certificate scheme has provided us with over 19 TWh of renewable power.ReportThe total normal annual production in Norway is around 158 TWh. Most of this is hydropower. Wind power is the second largest source of electricity. Key figures for Norwegian power production as of December 31, 2023, are shown in the table below.12/05/2024Read report
