Norway wants to be Europe's battery [News]

Abstract

Norway's hydropower reservoirs make up nearly half of Europe's energy storage capacity. European grid operators need energy storage to cope with an ever-mounting, always-shifting torrent of wind power. See the connection? So does Norway. In December, engineers will energize a new subsea power cable that will begin to bridge the gap between need and opportunity, greatly expanding European power systems' access to Norway's hydropower-rich power grid.
