Total capacity: As of mid-2024, Norway''s total wind energy capacity reached 5.18 GW, with onshore wind contributing 5.08 GW and offshore wind
Report 2023 Norway
The standstill was driven by the lack of public support for onshore wind power that caused a pause in licens-ing from 2019 until 2022 and a shift from incentives to taxation.

Annual Report 2024 Norway
The main barrier for Norwegian offshore wind power deployment remains the relatively high-cost level of offshore wind – especially for floating offshore wind – compared to the relatively low

Report 2021
Wind power in Norway continued with a fairly high-level of deployment, resulting in 706 MW of new installed capacity in 2021 and a net total installed capacity of 4649 MW at the end of the
Norway s New Energy Storage Power Station A Game-Changer
The storage station smooths output from the 88-turbine Hywind Tampen array, reducing curtailment losses by 40%. "It''s like having a giant shock absorber for wind power," says
Electricity production
Wind and solar power are intermittent; electricity can only be generated when the energy is available. The same applies to run-of-river power plants and small-scale hydropower

In 2012 Norway had a wind power electricity production of 1.6 terawatt-hours (5.8 PJ), a small fraction of its total production. The following year it approved spending 20 billion NOK to triple its wind power capacity of ca. 700 MW to more than 2 GW by 2020. In August 2016 construction of the 1 GW Fosen Vind project began. New projects increased capacity to 2.4 GW and production to 5.5 TW
