Norwegian
Hydropower

Connecting to Continental Europe

N

NORWAY IS WELL SUITED FOR HYDROPOWER USE,
thanks to its natural geography. This was recognized during the 1800s when Norway started building dams to create
reservoirs for storing water for use in hydropower stations.
Beginning in the 1950s, the country carried out large-scale
hydropower development that lasted for more than 30 years.
Norway currently possesses roughly 50% of Europe's entire
hydropower storage capacity, with a total reservoir volume
of 86 TWh. Norway's large reservoir capacity enables it to
be in a position to provide large-scale, cost-effective, and

emission-free indirect storage to balance wind and solar
generation in other European countries.
The amount of energy that can be provided from hydropower in the Norwegian system varies depending on the precipitation each year. In high rainfall years, there is excess
energy, and in low rainfall years, there is a shortage, with
the difference being approximately 60 TWh. Norway has
mitigated this variation by creating energy-import capabilities for low rainfall years and exporting excess power
during higher rainfall years by building interconnections
