In this webinar, our expert, Sigbjørn Seland, went through key insights from StormGeo Spring 2026 long-term power market outlooks. Sigbjørn highlighted the latest developments in energy policy, technology costs, renewable growth, and electricity pricing - helping you make informed decisions in uncertain times.
Themes covered:
- Long-term price scenarios: Four scenarios for Nordic system and area prices through 2050, including Base Case, Carbon Constrained, High, and Low.
- Demand growth and rebalancing: How data centres, AI-driven load growth, green steel and hydrogen could reshape regional power balances.
- Regional divergence: Why northern price areas remain structurally oversupplied while southern regions face tighter balances and stronger price signals.
- Onshore wind economics: Why onshore wind remains the lowest-cost source of new generation, but faces sharply different market conditions across the Nordics.
- Permitting and local opposition: How regulatory barriers and local resistance are constraining new build in high-value southern areas.
- Flexibility and storage: Where rising volatility is increasing the value of battery storage, demand response, and hybrid solutions.
- Offshore wind and nuclear: What role these technologies are likely to play in the Nordic market under current policy and market conditions.
- Nordic position in Europe: How stronger links to continental Europe increase both export opportunity and exposure to external market dynamics.
