6 FAQs about [Norway pumped energy storage project bidding]

Will pumped storage hydro be profitable in Norway?

The price variations seen on the Norwegian market for many days during the past few months would make pumped storage hydro very profitable indeed – and contribute to level out power prices around the clock. The price of electricity was high in Norway for many days during the fall of 2021.

How long will hydro's Norwegian aluminium plants be covered by power contracts?

Hydro’s Norwegian aluminium plants are mainly covered by long-term power contracts until 2030, but it is urgent to secure new contracts beyond this period. "Hydro and the wider industry need more hydropower, wind, and solar power to successfully transition to a greener future and make further investments in Norway.

Will a hydro concession be granted to the illvatn pumped storage power plant?

In April 2020, the Norwegian Ministry of Energy granted Hydro concession to develop the Illvatn pumped storage power plant. An application for a plan change is currently being processed by the Norwegian Water Resources and Energy Directorate (NVE).

Is pumped storage hydropower a good idea?

Pumped storage hydropower, using electricity to fill hydro reservoirs, is back in the news because of the high electricity prices. Upgrading hydropower plants to allow for pumped storage requires large investments but can be profitable while contributing to stabilising electricity prices in a 100 percent renewable power system.

Does hydro produce aluminium in Norway?

Hydro currently produces aluminium in Norway with a carbon footprint that is about 75 percent lower than the global average. The goal is to achieve zero-carbon aluminium by 2050. Hydro’s Norwegian aluminium plants are mainly covered by long-term power contracts until 2030, but it is urgent to secure new contracts beyond this period.

What is a pumped storage hydropower plant?

Pumped storage hydropower plants can be built with a high flexibility and provide rapid, zero-emission reserves, also called system services. This means they can get additional income from what we call reserve markets.
