Oslo energy storage company project number requirements

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 Oslo need better energy management?

To continue the electrification of these sectors, Oslo needs better energy planning and management to ensure that the city has sufficient grid capacity and alternative energy sources to fulfil the transition. Energy management is needed at both the micro level – construction site or charging station – and the macro level – city and region.

Can Oslo achieve a net zero transition by 2030?

Electricity grid performance and energy management is key for Oslo to achieve its net zero transition by 2030. This pilot will focus on supporting emissions-free energy supply to construction machinery and Heavy-Duty Vehicles (HDVs), sectors that are expected to be challenging to electrify.

Can Northern Lights store CO2 in Norway?

Northern Lights JV DA, which is the transport and storage operator in Longship, has signed letters of intent with several companies. In addition, Northern Lights is in dialogue with a large number of European companies that are looking at the possibilities of storing their CO₂ in Norway.

What is Oslo's procurement strategy?

Oslo’s procurement strategy as a tool to scale up emissions-free solutions that can serve as a cost-effective template for replication. The procurement strategy has been highly successful in ensuring the development and implementation of electric solutions at construction sites for commercial transport and beyond.

Can Norway transport CO2?

In 2024, Norway signed bilateral MoUs (Memorandum of Understanding) with Denmark, Sweden, Belgium and the Netherlands to allow for cross-border transport of CO. Can we guarantee that CO2 is safely stored?
