WANT MORE RAIN: Oil and Energy Minister Terje Aasland is happy when it rains. Photo: Lise Åserud – We have a weather-dependent power system, said Oil and Energy Minister Terje Aasland to news on Friday. He is happy every time it rains. If so, he has a lot to look forward to today. Because now the water is rising in lakes all over the country, at the same time it is blowing well outside in Europe. The electricity price in the three price areas in southern Norway will fall to 23 øre per kilowatt hour on Thursday, preliminary figures from Nord Pool show. According to E24, these are the lowest electricity prices this year in southern Norway. In the last week, news has had a camera standing to take pictures of the lake Sundsbarmvatnet in Telemark. In a week there is a visible change. Skagerak Kraft reports that their measurements show that the increase is as much as 3.5 meters in one week. What does this mean for the electricity bill? – Every drop counts. That’s what Tor Reier Lilleholt, head of analysis at the analysis company Volue Insight, says. Power analyst Tor Reier Lilleholt hopes for a lot of snow this winter.

Because it is not just the water that rises, so does the consumption as the temperature outside falls. – We must hope for a mild winter, says Lilleholt. At the same time, he hopes for a lot of snow in the mountains, which can melt and fill the reservoirs again in the spring. Only then does Lilleholt believe that we can see electricity prices that remain more stable. Happy with rainy weather All summer, Oil and Energy Minister Terje Aasland has been following the weather forecast. – It is exciting, he told news before the weekend. Then he also said that every time it rains, he gets heaps of messages and pictures with thumbs up on his phone.
