How many GW will Norway install by 2030?

In our Energy Transition Outlook, we expect Norway to install a total of 3 GW by 2030. In contrast to some of the Nordic neighbours, Norway must combat snow and challenging soil conditions for utility scale installations. In order to accelerate the uptake, further support is necessary, as expressed by NVE and Statkraft.
