The challenge
Hydropower regularly accounts for more than 95 per cent of total Norwegian power production, with the small remainder made up by thermal and, only recently, wind. At the end of 2016, Norway’s inland waters powered over 31 GW installed capacity, producing 144 TWh of clean power.
It marks the highest annual hydropower generation ever recorded in Norway, which has been attributed in large part to very high rainfall throughout the year.
