The Nordic countries are endowed with abundant renewable energy resources and are a leader in renewables. As each country transitions to carbon neutral electricity, heating, and transport, their combined lead in renewables stands to grow.
Natural resources and prices of energy are different between locations within the Nordic region. The Nordic countries also export some of their electricity production to the UK and continental Europe through inter-connector cables, which connect the electricity grid systems in different countries.
The future direction of energy in the Nordics is set to increase the importance of all renewable energy sources, including biomass, wind, solar, hydropower, and geothermal. Strong progress has been made on renewable electricity and heating, while decarbonising heavy vehicles, aviation, and shipping is a priority in the years ahead.
The fundamentals of investing in the Nordics should not be overlooked. As renewable energy is the main source of energy in the regions, there is a long-term pipeline of projects and investment opportunities.
Industry accounts for about a third of energy use in the Nordic countries on average, considerably higher than most other developing countries. Large hydroelectric potential and a rich endowment of raw materials such as wood and minerals have played an important role in the development of energy-intensive industry in the region.
In examining their approach, the Nordic Energy Technology Perspectives aims to provide objective analysis that will increase the Nordic region’s chances of success. A secondary – but ultimately more important – aim is to prompt other countries and regions to follow their lead. Nordic Energy Technology Perspectives - Analysis and key findings.
