Oslo commercial off-grid energy storage power station

Is there a power grid in Oslo?

Oslo does not have a power grid. However, west of Oslo, there is a small single-phase AC power grid operated with 16.7 Hz frequency for power supply of electric railways.

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.

What are the barriers to energy optimisation?

The main identified barriers are: National legal barriers. PURE will develop tools for energy optimisation and provide the city with the means to govern its energy and power sector effectively.

When will CO2 be delivered from Stockholm exergi?

The second phase is expected to be completed and ready to receive CO 2 delivery from Stockholm Exergi in the second half of 2028. The expected $713 million investment for the second phase includes about $141 million from the Connecting Europe Facility funding scheme approved by the European Commission in 2024.
