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.
Is Norway the 'battery of Europe'?

How big is Norway's battery market?
batteries for stationary energy storage - a market expected to reach EUR 57 billion by . Now, a more mature Norwegian battery industry has greater potential to accelerate the renewable energy transition in Europe. Today Norway has not one, but two huge battery markets.
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.
How many GW of hydropower does Norway have?
Norway presently has 32 GW installed capacity in the hydropower system and 85 TWh reservoir storage, providing 97 per cent of its own electricity supply. Studies have shown that it is possible to develop additional 20 GW of new capacity in the Norwegian hydropower without construction of additional reservoirs.
Are EV batteries the future of energy storage?
“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. An early adopter of electric transport, Norway continues to capture EV battery headlines.
