Norway is a heavy producer of renewable energy because of hydropower. Over 99% of the electricity production in mainland Norway is from 31 GW hydropower plants (86 TWh reservoir capacity, storing water from summer to winter). The average hydropower is 133 TWh/year (135.3 TWh in 2007). There is also a large. .
The system for was implemented by the EU Renewable Energy , trading 'green certificates', the sale of which in 2010 relabeled the calculated average electricity consumption. .
In 2012 Norway had a electricity production of 1.6 (5.8 ), a small fraction of its total production. The following year it approved spending 20 billion NOK to triple its wind power capacity of ca. 700 MW to more than 2 GW by 2020. In. .
