Norsk Hydro, a Norwegian aluminum and renewable energy company, is planning a 84 GWh pumped storage project in Luster Municipality, Norway. The Illvatn project, with an estimated price tag of NOK1.2 billion (US$113 million), is expected to begin construction in 2025, targeting 2028 or 2029 for full.
Most batteries being produced today will be used to store energy for wind farms, industrial activities and off-grid rural areas,” explains Nora Rosenberg Grobæk, former Head of Batteries at Invest in Norway, the official investment promotion agency of Norway. Whether for EVs or energy storage.
Norway’s capital just leveled up in the renewable energy game with its first pumped hydro storage (PHS) facility. Think of it as a mountain-sized battery that stores Oslo’s abundant rainfall like digital coins in a crypto wallet – except this one actually solves real-world problems. Located 80km.
