Norway has emerged as a central player in this energy drama. The country’s electricity prices are surging due to high demand from neighboring countries, particularly Denmark, Germany, and the UK. The Norwegian energy minister has expressed deep concern over this trend, leading to commitments from the ruling parties to campaign against the power interconnectors that link Norway with Denmark. This decision stems from the fact that most of Norway’s power generation comes from hydropower, with considerable contributions from wind power sourced from the continent. However, a downturn in wind conditions in Germany has resulted in skyrocketing EU power prices, placing Norway in a precarious position.
