Electricity in Norway - statistics & facts
Known for its many fjords and lakes, Norway’s extensive natural resources are also an integral part of its electricity market. The Norwegian power mix is dominated by renewable sources, namely hydropower (and to a lesser extent, wind). Despite being one of the world’s largest oil producers, fossil fuels play a very small role in the country’s electricity generation, with a share of less than two percent. In turn, an abundant and reliable power supply has turned Norway into one of the largest per capita electricity consumers worldwide.
