1. Renewable Energy sources in Norway
Tommy O. Olsen
10th May 2012

2. Norway in a unique position
• Abundance of renewable energy to
moderate costs
– Almost all electricity from
renawables
– Large exploitable wind and
waterfall resources
• Water power offers good flexibility
• Good institutional framworks
– Market based energy supply
• The climate callenges increases the
value of these resources
• This represents industrial
opportunities

4. EU 20 20 20 Ambition
20 % Transition to renewable energy
EU’s ambitions:
"20 20 20 whitin 2020" 20 % Reduction in CO2 emissions
20 % Energy efficiency improvment
Norway:
• signed EU’s Renewable directive
• 69% of total energy consumption from renewables
• Approx. 100% of electricity consumption from hydro power
• common green certificate marked with Sweden where the
ambition is to increase the production of renewable energy by
26,4 TWh by 2020

5. Hydro Power resources in Norway
Source: NVE
• 600 TWh/year theoretical potential
• 206 TWh/year possible exploitation potential (2011)

6. Norwegian Wind Power Potential
250 TWh onshore wind
200‐300 TWh near‐shore wind
14.000 TWh offshore wind!
But;
There is the issue of
• Cost of production
• Norwegian market prizes
• Grid cost and bottlenecks
• Environment
• Fisheries

19. TEs approach to the renewable challenge
• Joint Venture on Norways largest onshore wind power
project – 50% increase of our production
• Investing in offshore wind engineering – Owec Tower
• Developing Bio oil and gas production from Norwegian
fish farming waste – BioKraft
• Investing in Solar Wafer recycling technology –
Metallkraft
• Renewable R&D relations with Norwegian University of
Science and Technoloy ‐ NTNU
