These pages present some statistics, key figures and information concerning the import and export of power. Use the menu on the left to get an overview of the content elements.
Electricity cannot be stored. There must always be a balance between production and consumption. See what the production and consumption of electrical power was like in Norway, week by week, back to 2001.
