Dry Winter Saps Norway’s Hydropower Potential
The country acts as Europe’s battery, but it doesn’t have enough charge after below-normal snowfall.
When it doesn’t snow in Norway, the rest of Europe feels the pinch. That’s because the Scandinavian country exports hydropower that relies on that snow to melt and fill reservoirs.
Well, this winter was a dry one. Today’s newsletter looks at the looming hydropower shortage amid an already tight market. And find out how climate tech is making Europe more resilient to energy shocks on the latest episode of the Zero podcast.
