While hydro power accounted for 95.8 per cent of the total electricity generation in November 2013, thermal power and wind power accounted for 2.5 and 1.7 per cent respectively.

Net export of power

Norway’s export of power totalled 1 097 GWh in November 2013, while imports came to 680 GWh. This gave a net export of 417 GWh. In the same month in 2012 there was a net export of 588 GWh.

Small increase in the total electricity consumption

The gross consumption of electricity came to 11 812 GWh in November 2013; an increase of 4.9 per cent compared with the same month in 2012. The gross consumption of electricity encompasses consumption in the groups extraction of crude oil and natural gas, power-intensive manufacturing and electricity consumption excluding power-intensive manufacturing and extraction. Net loss, pump storage use and other own consumption in the power stations are also included.
