Norway — Energy Infrastructure

OverWatts maps 359 energy assets in Norway across 13 layers — the 23rd-largest mapped base of 157 countries. They include 156 power plants, 143 oil & gas fields and 32 pipelines. Operating generation capacity is 25.6 GW, led by hydro at 83%.

The companies named on the most assets are Equinor Energy AS (97), Petoro AS (63) and Statkraft (59), counting both ownership and operatorship. Half of Norway's mapped assets in service predate 1997 (median commissioning year of the 245 with a known date), 45 came online in the past decade and the oldest still listed is Vamma hydroelectric plant, dating from 1915. 40+ projects are under construction or proposed, led by Sørvest Offshore wind farm (7.5 GW).
