The overall renewable energy share for Norway. Annual figures1
2005200620072008200920102011201220132014
1Biofuels could not be certified sustainable in Norway due to a late transposition of Directive 2009/28/EC and are thus not taken into account in the 2011, 2012 and 2013 calculations and figures. However, the renweable shares are also presented assuming that biofuels are certified and included in the figures
2In calculating the contribution of hydro and wind power, the effects of climatic variations is smoothened through the use of a normalisaton rule
3Total electricity production + imports-exports-production from pumped hydro.
4Final renewable energy consumption in all sectors but transport, except electricity- and heat consumption. Production of renewable district heating and energy from heat pumps is included.
5Includes total energy consumption in all sectors but transport, except electricity consumption. Renewable energy from heat pumps is added.
6Includes total energy consumption, distribution losses for electriciy and heat, and consumption of heat and electriciy in district heating and electricity production.
