Hydropower accounts for most of the Norwegian power supply, and the resource base for production depends on the precipitation in a given year. This is a significant difference compared to the rest of Europe where security of supply is mainly secured through thermal power plants, with fuels available in the energy markets.
At the beginning of 2025, Norway's power supply had an installed production capacity of 40 334 MW, with an estimated normal annual production of around 157 TWh. The year 2024 set a new record with electricity production of 157.2 TWh, while 2023 had a total production of 154 TWh.
Integration with other countries' power systems, the well-developed power grid and the characteristics of hydropower production make Norway's power supply system very flexible, reducing vulnerability to fluctuations in production between seasons and years. Hydropower is the backbone of the Norwegian power system.
There are 30 thermal power plants in Norway, with a total installed capacity of about 538 MW. The power balance expresses the relationship between production and consumption and indicates whether the Norwegian power system is a net exporter or importer in a particular year.
