Center Party urges Norway to slash electricity exports amid high prices
The Center Party has submitted a bill to the Storting calling for a reduction in Norway’s electricity exports to Europe, citing soaring prices and low reservoir levels.
Center Party lawmakers presented a proposal in parliament to limit power exports, arguing that record-low water-reservoir fills and volatile, high electricity prices threaten domestic supply. Party spokesperson Maren Grøthe said the measure aims to secure national control over export flows. The move reflects growing concern over Norway’s ability to meet internal demand while exporting energy to the European market.
Why it matters
Limiting exports could affect European power markets and domestic electricity prices in Norway.
