The Future of Energy
summary
Norway runs 88% hydroelectric power with about 156 TWh/year installed capacity, supplemented by ~11% wind and small biomass; hydro gives long lifespans and pumped storage can achieve ~85% round‑trip efficiency. Offshore wind farms (High Wind Tampen: 11 turbines) already supply roughly a third of platform power. Grid storage experiments use lithium packs and emerging iron‑air batteries with ~100‑hour discharge; geothermal pilots use horizontal drilling; modular small reactors and fusion R&D (Commonwealth, ITER) are progressing but not yet grid‑scale.
