Does wind and solar contribute to the Nordic reserve market?
Resources with variable production, such as wind and solar, participate to a very limited extent. The purpose of this document is to provide guidance to the Nordic reserve markets, with the aim of increasing the participation of wind and solar.
How much electricity does Norway produce in ?
In , Norway had an electricity production of 157 TWh, of which 91% was from hydropower, 8% from onshore wind, and <1% from thermal sources (NVE, 2021b). This shows that the Norwegian generation mix is already dominated by renewable energy. In normal weather years, Norway exports around 19 TWh of electricity to neighbouring countries.
Is solar PV a good option for the future Norwegian power market?
Solar PV has an average market value as low as 20 ± 3 €/MWh. Despite low LCOE estimates, solar PV does not look like an attractive option for the future Norwegian power market, given our model assumptions.
How much wind power will Norway produce in ?
For instance, assumed wind power capacities in the Nordic countries in ranged from 25 GW to 82 GW (Chen et al., 2021a). Similarly, generation capacities in Norway varied between 39 and 68 GW in . Nordic demand projections vary between 409 and 680 TWh in , where 7%–9% will be from electrical vehicles.
Will the future nuclear power capacity in Sweden affect wind power prices?
In addition, the future nuclear power capacity in Sweden appears to have a substantial impact. The increase in the market value for wind power is driven by reduced generation capacity and increased onshore wind investment costs, since these factors drive the average electricity prices upwards.
Is wind and solar a good choice for the Nordic market?
This is suitable for solar, where production is highest during summer as well. Wind and solar are variable sources and are not available all the time. Historically the Nordic markets have relied on long contracts, which fits wind and solar poorly. Over time, the market development has been adapted to fit new technologies better.
The purpose of this document is to provide guidance to the Nordic reserve markets, with the aim of increasing the participation of wind and solar. It also highlights the initiatives and different approaches made in the four Nordic countries to introduce more wind and solar.
