The average cost per unit of energy generated across the lifetime of a new power plant. This data is expressed in US dollars per kilowatt-hour. It is adjusted for inflation but does not account for differences in living costs between countries.
Methodology & Data The transactions detailed in this report were sourced from publicly available sources, such as news articles and company press releases. The scope of the analysis is
Wind power has surged in recent years, now providing about 9–11%, while solar, although small at <1%, is rapidly gaining ground through private investments and supportive policies.
Berkeley Lab''s annual Utility-Scale Solar report presents trends in deployment, technology, capital expenditures (CapEx), operating expenses (OpEx), capacity factors, the levelized cost of solar
We conclude that for the 2040 power prices, international drivers will be more important than price drivers inside the Norwegian market, and that policy support would
Average capacity factors are calculated using county-level capacity factor averages from the reV model for 1998–2021 (inclusive) of the NSRDB. The NSRDB provides modeled spatiotemporal solar irradiance resource data at 4
Many power plants in Norway have storage reservoirs and production can therefore be adjusted within the constraints set by the licence and the watercourse itself. Wind and solar power are intermittent; electricity can
mix of fossil fuels. In countries and years where no fossil fuel generation occurs, an average fossil fuel emission factor has been used to calculate countries and areas. The IRENA statistics team
Solar power in Denmark amounts to 4,208 MW of grid-connected PV capacity at the end of March 2025, [1] and contributes to a government target to use 100% renewable electricity by 2030
The deployment of wind power in Norway increased dramatically in the last five years, making it the strongest growth on record. In 2022, 374 MW of new capacity was commissioned, all of which occurred onshore.
PVMars lists the costs of 1mwh-3mwh energy storage system (ESS) with solar here (lithium battery design). The price unit is each watt/hour, total price is calculated as: 0.2 US$ * 2000,000 Wh = 400,000 US$. When solar modules

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.
The average market value for onshore wind in Norway is 32 ± 4 €/MWh, corresponding to a value factor of 0.80. The market value for onshore wind is close to the expected LCOE indicating that onshore wind may be profitable without subsidies, especially at sites with good wind conditions.
Also, hydropower and wind power capacities in Sweden have relatively large impacts, with average values of −0.30 €/MWh per GW and − 0.20 €/MWh per GW, respectively. The wind power capacities in Finland and Denmark, and nuclear capacity in France and the UK, have limited impacts on Norwegian prices. 3.2.2. Demand
Solar PV has an average market value as low as 20 ± 3 €/MWh. Despite low LCOE estimates, solar PV does not look like an attractive option for the future Norwegian power market, given our model assumptions.
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.
For instance, assumed wind power capacities in the Nordic countries in 2040 ranged from 25 GW to 82 GW (Chen et al., 2021a). Similarly, generation capacities in Norway varied between 39 and 68 GW in 2040. Nordic demand projections vary between 409 and 680 TWh in 2040, where 7%–9% will be from electrical vehicles.
