While hydro power accounted for 95.9 per cent of the total electricity generation in August 2013, thermal power and wind power accounted for 2.9 and 1.2 per cent respectively.

Net export of power

Norway’s export of power totalled 1 904 GWh in August 2013, while imports came to 111 GWh. This gave a net export of 1 793 GWh. In the corresponding month in 2012 there was a net export of 2 510 GWh.

Decline in the total electricity consumption

The gross consumption of electricity came to 8 347 GWh in August 2013; a decrease of 2.5 per cent compared with the same month last year. The gross consumption of electricity encompasses consumption in the groups extraction of crude oil and natural gas, power-intensive manufacturing and electricity consumption excluding power-intensive manufacturing and extraction. Net loss, pump storage use and other own consumption in the power stations are also included.
