POWER: Norway to Possibly Cut Heating Demand by 10 TWh/yr Due to Geothermal
POWER
Norway could cut its heating demand by around 10 TWh/yr over the next 10 years if it invests in the deployment of geothermal heating, according to firm GTML, cited by Montel.
- Around 1/3 of Norway’s demand is from heating and hot water or about 50 TWh/yr.
- Norway has around 65,000 plants for heating or cooling, or about 1.2GW of capacity and an annual production of 3.5-4 TWh of heat.
- Low-temperature geothermal energy could provide up to 33 TWh for heating, according to Energy Minister Terje Aasland
