Circle area is the megawatts
Norway · the batteries named in NVE’s concessions and owners’ releases · read 25 October 2026
Norway has five batteries of a megawatt or more running on its mainland grid that anyone names, 5.2 MW, and 47.5 MW more consented or being built
NVE, the energy regulator, says there is no stand-alone commercial battery of significant size in Norway, because the hydro plants already give the system its quick flexibility. No Norwegian body publishes a list of batteries, so this map is the ones named in NVE’s concession cases, the owners’ own releases and NVE’s fact sheets: 23 of them, every fact with its source beside it. On the mainland five are operating; one is being built, ten are consented and six have been applied for, notified or announced. Norway’s largest battery, 8.8 MW on Svalbard, is in no bidding zone and is not drawn. The Norway page says why there are so few; the pipeline follows every concession case.

Every battery named, a megawatt and up
Largest first. Click a row to centre the map on the battery, or open its page for every fact and its source. Power and capacity are the battery’s own figures as the concession, the application or the owner gives them; where two sources differ the page says so. A blank is a figure no source gives.
| Battery | Owner | Municipality | Zone | Status | MW | MWh | Date |

Source: no/hand/batteries.csv, the list Vitreous keeps by hand from NVE’s concession cases and papers, the owners’ and builders’ own releases, NVE’s fact sheets 02, 03 and 04 of 2026 and the Brønnøysund register (NLOD 2.0), read to 19 October 2026; the address behind every fact is on each battery’s page. NVE’s case list is read every day. Places from GeoNames, CC BY 4.0. Bidding zones from the county, as Statnett’s zone map draws them. Nothing on this page is modelled.
