Solar PVOnshore windOffshore windCSPBuilding / planned

Norway has 5.7 GW of utility-scale solar and wind capacity in operation across 354 tracked facilities, ranking #33 of 222 countries in this atlas.

Wind leads the fleet with 5.6 GW (99% of operating capacity), while solar parks add 36 MW.

Offshore wind contributes 138 MW; Norway is one of the few countries with offshore wind farms in operation.

The pipeline is substantial: 300 MW under construction and 29.1 GW in pre-construction or announced, equal to 520% of today’s operating fleet.

About 1.1 GW (19%) of the operating capacity started up in 2021 or later; the busiest year was 2020, with 1.3 GW commissioned.

The largest concentrations are in Modalen'Alver (682 MW), Bjerkreim (419 MW), Tromso (281 MW).
