Installed capacity and growth Total capacity: As of mid-2024, Norway's total wind energy capacity reached 5.18 GW, with onshore wind contributing 5.08 GW and offshore wind standing at 101 MW. Onshore wind: Norway has seen a steady increase in onshore wind capacity, but new installations have slowed compared to previous years.
The Norwegian Water Resources and Energy Directorate reported that, as of the beginning of 2023, Norway had 1,392 operational wind turbines distributed across 65 wind farms, with a total annual production of 16,923 GWh (11% of Norway's electricity generation).
Norway's wind energy sector has been steadily growing, with both onshore and offshore projects gaining momentum. As the country moves toward achieving its ambitious climate goals, wind power—particularly offshore and floating wind—has become a cornerstone of its renewable energy strategy. Installed capacity and growth
Nearly 100% of Norway's generation is renewable; in 2022, hydroelectric generation accounted for 128 TWh of electric power, and wind was the second-largest source, generating 15 TWh (Table 1 and Figure 8). Historically, Norway, as Europe's largest hydropower producer, has predominantly used its ample supply of hydroelectric power for electricity.
