is the main mode of electricity production. Norway is known for its particular expertise in the development of efficient, environment-friendly hydroelectric power plants. Calls to power Norway principally through hydropower emerged as early as 1892, coming in the form a letter by the former Prime Minister Gunnar Knutsen to parliament. Ninety percent of hydropower c. . is a large energy producer, and one of the world's largest exporters of oil. Most of the electricity in the country is produced by hydroelectricity. Norway is one of the leading countries in the electrification of its transport sector, with the largest fleet of electric vehicles per capita in the world (see and ). [pdf]
This paper analyzes Norway's energy system with a forecasting approach of different parameters, such as GDP, population growth rate (%) affecting activity level, the substitution of technologies in different branches (i.e., energy carrier), and final energy intensity (FEI) applied to residential, industrial, and transport sectors.
Norway is a large energy producer, and one of the world's largest exporters of oil. Most of the electricity in the country is produced by hydroelectricity.
The electricity sector in Norway relies predominantly on hydroelectricity. A significant share of the total electrical production is consumed by national industry. Production, consumption and export of electrical energy in Norway. Source: Statistisk sentralbyrå.
The Norwegian energy supply system consists of all parts of the domestic energy sector who produce, trade and distribute energy to consumers. The production of energy is by some distance the largest part of the Norwegian energy supply system.
Total energy demand in the residential sector in Norway in 2015 was 46.28 TWh; in 2020, a slight decrease of 0.77 TWh was observed. Energy consumption in the residential sector consists of space heating (103.5 PJ), electrical appliances (34.6 PJ), and some small cooling demand (0.2 PJ).
Norway is rich in renewable and non-renewable energy sources, producing enough energy to meet the national demand and export to other European countries. As one of the world's largest energy exporters, Norway addresses the energy security of consuming countries.
