Norwegian solar thermal storage production plant

How many thermal power plants are there in Norway?

Hence, production often depends on the electricity needs of the industry. These power plants use a variety of energy sources, including municipal waste, industrial waste, surplus heat, oil, natural gas and coal. There are 30 thermal power plants in Norway, with a total installed capacity of about 642 MW.

Why is solar energy important in Norway?

Solar energy is experiencing a vast growth both in Norway and globally. Solar energy will play a pivotal role in the energy transition from fossil to renewables and provide clean energy to parts of the world where many people still do not have access to electricity.

What is the Norwegian solar energy industry like?

The Norwegian solar energy industry is highly varied with both national and international activities across the PV value chain. Based on interview and survey results we group the firms in three groups; downstream national, downstream international and upstream.

How do power plants in Norway work?

Many power plants in Norway have storage reservoirs and production can therefore be adjusted within the constraints set by the licence and the watercourse itself. Wind and solar power are intermittent; electricity can only be generated when the energy is available.

How many solar power plants are there in Norway?

In 2023, most of the solar power in Norway is installed on the roofs of households and industry, and primarily cover their own consumption. As of 31 March 2023, there are no dedicated solar power plants in Norway. During 2022, approximately 153 MW of new solar power was installed in Norway.

What are the regulations for the Norwegian solar PV industry?

Following regulations for the Norwegian solar PV industry is critical. The supply companies acknowledge that any equipment that is delivered to Norway should be translated in a Scandinavian language with a Norwegian user manual for installation. Other regulations refer to CO2 footprint.
