Leverer mindre strøm enn ventet

NVE jekker ned anslaget på hvor mye strøm norsk vindkraft leverer.

Leverer mindre strøm enn ventet

Norges vassdrags- og energidirektorat (NVE) has received updated data on the amount of wind energy being generated. They have adjusted their estimates for annual production to 15.2 terawatt-hours (TWh), down from a previous estimate of 15.9 TWh. This adjustment aims to make the estimates more realistic, ensuring they reflect current conditions.

This is not the first time NVE has made such adjustments; last year, they reduced the annual wind energy production estimate by about 1 TWh to 15.9 TWh. This year's adjustment comes as they now have production data for more turbines and multiple years. The estimates could impact municipalities' plans for future income from wind turbines, which receive a small production tax per kilowatt-hour generated.

Realistic production estimates can provide better groundwork for budgeting. However, actual wind energy production varies from year to year, making it important to be aware that unplanned downtime or low wind could result in less production. This adjustment is particularly relevant for the price ranges NO3 (Trøndelag, Møre og Romsdal and parts of Vestland and Innlandet) and NO4 (Nordland, Troms and Finnmark). According to NVE, wind energy has produced less electricity than expected in several years.
