6. Ministry of Petroleum and Energywww.mpe.dep.no The Norwegian Perspective Electricity production depends on hydro power Small growth in production capacity over several years Unique access to renewable energy sources 125 119 60 0 20 40 60 80 100 120 140 160 TWh 125 119 60 0 20 40 60 80 100 120 140 160 TWh Consumption Production in a normal year Yearly variation +/- 30 TWh Yearly variation +/- 30 TWh

7. Ministry of Petroleum and Energywww.mpe.dep.no Need for a New Energy Mix Initiative to change energy use and supply –new electricity production from additional renewable sources –increased use of district heating and biomass –energy efficiency and energy savings Contribute to making gas fired power plants with carbon capture and storage a reality

8. Ministry of Petroleum and Energywww.mpe.dep.no Target for renewable energy 12 TWh within 2010 3 TWh wind power 4 TWh district heating based on renewables energy efficiency 30 TWh within 2016 Enova is the government’s tool for achieving the targets

9. Ministry of Petroleum and Energywww.mpe.dep.no Natural Gas in the Energy Supply A possible gas pipeline to South-Eastern Norway and Sweden is currently being evaluated There has been considerable interest from the Polish side to participate in this pipeline project Good dialogue between Polish and Norwegian authorities in this process
