While hydro power accounted for 95.7 per cent of the total electricity generation in August 2014, thermal power and wind power accounted for 3.2 and 1.1 per cent, respectively.

Net export of power

Norway’s export of power totalled 1 754 GWh in August 2014, while imports came to 238 GWh. This gave a net export of 1 516 GWh. In the same month in 2013 there was a net export of 1 793 GWh.

Lower total electricity consumption

The gross consumption of electricity came to 8 300 GWh in August 2014; a decrease of 0.6 per cent compared with the same month in 2013. 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.
