Solar energy in the Nordics is gaining serious momentum. With increasing installations and ambitious targets, the region proves solar can thrive even in northern climates. The rapid progress across these countries sets a clear path for solar to become a key pillar in their renewable energy future.
The Nordic region benefits from large hydro reservoirs that provide excellent and cost-effective energy storage options, which are already being efficiently utilised. Meeting growing future flexibility needs with a changing energy mix will require supplementing hydro reservoirs with batteries or hydrogen-based fuels.
With solar production currently at 0.454 TWh, these efforts will play a major role in addressing potential power shortages expected by 2027. With 98.9% of Norway’s electricity already coming from low-carbon sources, solar is adding imperative capacity to meet growing energy demands. Expanding solar is no longer just an option. It’s necessary.
The Nordic countries are expected to have almost 1800 MW of installed battery capacity by 2030, not including batteries in electric vehicles. Figure 06.3: Expected battery capacity in the Nordics by 2030, not including batteries in electric vehicles.
