Power Plants in Norway

Norway has 156 power plants mapped on the OverWatts open energy atlas — the 28th-largest fleet of the 155 countries that hold any, and 0.5% of the world's mapped total. Of these, 108 operating and 46 under construction or proposed. Operating generation capacity totals 25.6 GW across 108 utility-scale plants of 100 MW and above. The largest is Sørvest Offshore wind farm (7.5 GW).

The largest owner-operators are Statkraft (57), Hafslund Eco (14) and Agder Energi (12) — Statkraft alone is named on 37% of them. Half of Norway's power plants in service predate 1975 (median commissioning year of the 106 with a known date), 16 came online in the past decade and the oldest still listed is Vamma hydroelectric plant, dating from 1915. 46 are in the pipeline, led by Sørvest Offshore wind farm (7.5 GW), proposed. They account for 43% of every energy asset OverWatts maps in Norway.
