Energy Transition Norway’s research and development (R&D) projects focus on renewable energy, carbon capture and storage (CCS), enhanced oil recovery, and decommissioning. These initiatives are categorized as “cluster projects” when they have been evaluated and supported by our Technical Committee. Is stationary energy storage a good idea in Norway?Electric cars now account for 79 per cent of new cars sold in Norway, and the MS Medstraum was recently launched as the world’s first electric fast ferry. In a global report on lithium-ion batteries, Norway ranked first in sustainability. These are impressive records. Even so, stationary energy storage is beginning to steal the limelight.
Does Norway have a battery market?Today Norway has not one, but two huge battery markets. “There are two market drivers for batteries: EVs and stationary energy storage. Energy storage is coming on strong now. It’s the key to turning intermittent wind and solar into a stable energy source,” explains Pål Runde, Head of Battery Norway.
What projects are under development in Norway?Another project under development in Norway is a new power plant at Torolmen, in the Årdal municipality, with an estimated annual production of around 30 GWh. The total investment for this project could reach NOK290 million (US$27.4 million), with potential construction starting as early as 2027.
