Is solar power a viable option in Norway?
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 started selling or leasing solar systems to private customers and businesses in Norway. Despite the low energy prices, solar power is growing rapidly in Norway.
How will solar energy impact Norway?
Together with wind, solar energy will account for most of the replacement of fossil fuels. Norway is closely linked to the European energy market. Regardless of the growth of solar in Norway, the development in the EU will have consequences for Norwegians.
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 does solar power work in Norway?
Solar power is only produced during the day, thus it must either be used immediately, stored or sold via the central electricity grid. In Norway, production of solar energy can offload the tapping of water reservoirs. Smart grids and digitization: Most Norwegian households will soon be equipped with smart meters.
What is the market for PV in Norway?
The market for PV in Norway is split between of grid-connected systems and PV to off-grid applications . The main driver for the grid-connected segment is high environmental goals set by property developers who want energy efficient buildings or operations to reduce the amount of energy from the grid.
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.
We conclude that for the power prices, international drivers will be more important than price drivers inside the Norwegian market, and that policy support would continue to be necessary for large-scale deployment of offshore wind and solar PV in Norway.
