Norway’s Hydro Stocks Fell First Time in Seven Weeks

ELECTRICITY

Norwegian hydropower reserves declined by 0.6 percentage points last week to 86.1% of capacity as of 25 October, the first decline in seven weeks, possibly indicating stocks have reached their peak ahead of the winter, NVE data showed.

  • The surplus to the five-year average narrowed to 6.26 percentage points, down from 6.84 points the week earlier.
  • Hydropower output increased last week. Production from hydro reservoirs rose by 962MW on the week to 11.17GW. Gas and wind output was largely stable on the week, Entso-E data showed.
  • Forecasts for limited precipitation in the hydro-intensive region of Vestland are likely to limit into hydro reserves.
