Higher production of power
The production of power came to 10 700 GWh in November 2004, an increase of 7.3 per cent from November 2003. The resources in the reservoirs improved compared with the normal for November. This was a result of high imports of power to Norway and considerable precipitation. The precipitation was 150 per cent of the normal and Norway had net imports of 1 084 GWh.
