The German Norwegian Energy Market

The German-Norwegian offshore energy market is a dynamic and growing sector that offers many opportunities for cooperation and innovation. Here are some of the main trends and developments that shape this market:

• Norway and Germany are connected by NordLink, a subsea cable that allows the exchange of electricity between the two countries. This cable enhances the security of supply, the integration of renewable energy, and the price stability in both markets.
   
• Norway is a major producer and exporter of natural gas and oil to the European market, especially Germany. Norway is also exploring the potential of offshore renewable energy and hydrogen, as well as carbon capture and storage (CCS), to reduce its greenhouse gas emissions and diversify its energy mix.
   
• Both Germany and Norway are leaders in the transition to a low-carbon economy, with ambitious targets for renewable energy, energy efficiency, and greenhouse gas reduction.
   
• Both countries are part of the European power market, undergoing significant changes due to the growth of intermittent renewable power, such as wind and solar. This creates challenges and opportunities for balancing supply and demand, optimizing cross-border capacities, and ensuring market coupling.
   
• Both countries are committed to enhancing their energy cooperation with the European Union and other partners through joint projects, initiatives, and dialogues. They aim to foster innovation, competitiveness, and sustainability in the energy sector.
