CEEMEAEnergy BulletsPower BulletsBulletNorwayCommodities

Norway’s Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Støre said on Thursday the government plans to not adopt the entire fourth EU energy package, cited by Bloomberg. 

  • Norway is planning to adapt the only directives on renewable energy, the environment and energy efficiency. The government won’t transpose the other five directives.
  • “In a situation with such great instability in the European power market, it is not relevant for the Labor Party to introduce the other five directives in the EU’s fourth package”, the PM said.
  • “We have our own power system. Each directive will be assessed individually”, he added.
  • PM Jonas Gahr Støre has confirmed that his centre-left Labour Party will continue in gov't alone following the withdrawal of the agrarian Centre Party (SP) from the governing coalition earlier today.
