Today Norway has not one, but two huge battery markets. “There are two market drivers for batteries: EVs and stationary energy storage. Energy storage is coming on strong now. It’s the key to turning intermittent wind and solar into a stable energy source,” explains Pål Runde, Head of Battery Norway.
batteries for stationary energy storage - a market expected to reach EUR 57 billion by 2030. Now, a more mature Norwegian battery industry has greater potential to accelerate the renewable energy transition in Europe. Today Norway has not one, but two huge battery markets.
As a battery region, the Nordics have become a notable actor in the broader European battery market. They have also joined forces on global projects, such as the export of energy storage systems to Egypt and Lebanon. “The rest of the world understands that Norway is an important player in all things battery.
Through the first three quarters of 2024, 83 energy storage financing and investment deals were reported completed for a total of $17.6 billion invested. Of these transactions, 18 were M&A transactions, up from 11 transactions during the same period in 2023.
Electric cars now account for 79 per cent of new cars sold in Norway, and the MS Medstraum was recently launched as the world’s first electric fast ferry. In a global report on lithium-ion batteries, Norway ranked first in sustainability. These are impressive records. Even so, stationary energy storage is beginning to steal the limelight.
