Emanuel Boeminghaus wrote that Norway's government does not plan to develop new international power cables until at least 2029. Energy Minister Terje Aasland called the concept of Norway as "Europe's green battery" outdated; however, existing connections such as NordLink to Germany will continue to operate. Citing a study in *Energy Policy*, Boeminghaus reported that NordLink has reduced peak prices in Germany, but has simultaneously increased expensive hours and price volatility in Southern Norway. The state price program Norgespris saved its participants more than 3.9 billion kroner compared to the spot market in the second quarter of 2026. Norway remains part of the European power trade, Boeminghaus wrote, but for now prefers a limit on a stronger interconnection. He cited Blackout News as the source. https://t.co/lMx3btPAXW #Energiewende #Norwegen #Strompreise (translated)
