Abstract The European power system needs to develop mechanisms to compensate for the reduced predictability and high variability that occur when integrating renewable energy.
Gholami claimed that current trends in Norway could lead to future solar additions of between 200 MW and 300 MW per year, providing there are no significant changes in policy or market conditions.
In order to be able to model price structures in future markets, it is crucial to examine the current market price structures in a market with high shares of renewable

The market value of Norwegian hydropower is driven by the same parameters as the average Norwegian electricity prices, which is unsurprising since hydropower represents approximately 75% of the total Norwegian electricity production. The average market value for onshore wind in Norway is 32 ± 4 €/MWh, corresponding to a value factor of 0.80.
The mean annual Norwegian power price from the Monte Carlo simulations is estimated to be 39 ± 4 €/MWh and long-term price levels below 23 €/MWh or above 50 €/MWh seem highly unlikely in an average weather year.
However, growth assumes that electricity prices are low enough. Without new Norwegian electricity production, excluding the projects that are currently under development, high electricity prices will practically limit consumption growth to an estimated 25-30 TWh.
Monte Carlo simulations suggest an average Norwegian power price of 39 ± 4 €/MWh in 2040, and unlikely to slip below 23 €/MWh or exceed 50 €/MWh in normal weather years. Our results show that regulated hydropower will have a substantially higher market value than the average power price (value factor of 1.3–1.4).
In 2021, Norway had an electricity production of 157 TWh, of which 91% was from hydropower, 8% from onshore wind, and <1% from thermal sources (NVE, 2021b). This shows that the Norwegian generation mix is already dominated by renewable energy. In normal weather years, Norway exports around 19 TWh of electricity to neighbouring countries.
The finding in this study suggests that Norwegian power prices are likely to remain moderate and that summer price will be relatively low in the future North European power market. Onshore wind is more likely to exceed its LCOE – its market value exceeded the mean LCOE in 50% of the simulations.
