One of the largest analyses for the Nordic is conducted by Nordic Energy Research, under the auspices of the Nordic Council of Ministers. Very detailed analysis of various system's stability/security of supply with high temporal granularity, good representation of international electricity trade, and many different weather scenarios.
The literature on energy transition in the Nordics [, , , ] often reach similar conclusions, at least directionally, with dominance of wind power throughout the region, abundant hydropower in Norway and Sweden and surprisingly high shares of solar PV even in such high latitudes.
Anticipating robust growth in power consumption in the Nordic countries up to 2030. Our estimates, though conservative, consider challenges like project cancellations, delays due to power and grid access issues, technological/economic obstacles, increased costs, and supply chain disruptions over the past years.
The Nordic countries as well as northern Europe are increasing the share of wind and solar power on the supply side, as well as electric heating on the demand side, resulting in an increase in the electricity system's weather-dependency.
Interconnection offers more flexibility through exports and imports [53, 115] and improves grid resiliency . Future strong growth of solar PV in the Nordics could be facilitated with a lateral spread of the Nordic electricity grid, slightly smoothing out the solar PV output and consumption on the entire grid.
The global industrial and commercial energy storage market is experiencing explosive growth, with demand increasing by over 250% in the past two years. Containerized energy storage solutions now account for approximately 45% of all new commercial and industrial storage deployments worldwide.
