Oslo independent energy storage power station

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.

Is Norway the 'battery of Europe'?

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.

Does Sweden have a battery industry?

Sweden, however, has both a more developed residential storage sector and a bigger pipeline of grid-scale batteries than the rest of the Nordic countries put together, with around 400MW announced for operations in 2024 alone.

Does Norway have a battery market?

Since then, nearly 3GW of interconnector capacity has been installed to connect the GB and German markets to Norway’s extensive hydro capacity. However, across Europe battery capacity exceeds 20 GW, with GB, Germany and Italy leading this growth in capacity. Norway’s battery market remains poorly developed, even compared to its neighbours.

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.
