4 FAQs about Norway s household distributed energy storage

What data does the Norwegian power system contain?

The data describes electrical energy communities in the Norwegian power system. As such it contains consumption data from households, consumption data from household appliances, electric vehicle (EV) charging data, calculated power from photovoltaics (PVs) and wholesale electricity price.

Where are electricity prices measured in Norway?

Wholesale electricity prices: Five Norwegian price areas (denoted commonly as NO1 - NO5). Primary data sources: Household consumption: Smart meter measurements from Trøndelag, Norway Appliance consumption: High-resolution measurements from Norway Electrical vehicle charging: Measurements from Trondheim, Norway

Which countries have a large energy storage capacity?

Finland, Norway and Sweden have a substantial energy storage capacity of approximately 125 TWh, thanks to their large hydro reservoirs. To put the Nordic hydro storages into perspective, the energy storage capacity of 100 million electric cars is approximately 5 TWh (assuming 50 kWh per car).

Why do we need hydro reservoirs in the Nordic region?

The Nordic region benefits from large hydro reservoirs that provide excellent and cost-effective energy storage options, which are already being efficiently utilised. Meeting growing future flexibility needs with a changing energy mix will require supplementing hydro reservoirs with batteries or hydrogen-based fuels.
