Or just MW

The anouncer has no clue.

Erik, you are confused, Mega watt hour is the correct unit for power over a given time frame. Not Megawatt hour per hour

@@iareid8255 MWh is a unit for energy. MWh/h is just MW (unit for power)

Posh Boy, the hour is routinely used in electrical measurement to quantify power times time, it is how your electricity bill is measured. (Retired Electrical power engineer)

Statoil isn't Statoil anymore. It's also not an oil company anymore. It's now called Equinor, and is now an Energy company.

@@C0MPUTERPHILE Jobber du i kommunikasjonsavdelinga på statoil??? Statoil eller equinor er da absolutt å kunne kalles et oljeselskap. Olje og gass utgjør så godt som hele virksomheten deres. Eller skjønte jeg ikke spøken din?

HadzirLP Nei, men jobben min involverer å både ringe oljeplattformer direkte og å snakke med tidligere Statoil Tele Driftssenter, og de har alle tydelig lært seg sitt nye navn når de tar telefonen. Millionene Equinor har brukt på rebranding er vel forøvrig ikke vanskelig å få med seg i verken i media eller i alle reklamekampanjene de har kjørt etter navnebyttet..

@@C0MPUTERPHILE faktisk ikkje sett ein einaste reklame sidan dei bytta navn 😂

Mr. Death, Generated power is not measured in the number of homes it may provide. The media always use this figure or that of rated nameplate power, both are meaningless. As far as wind is concerened it should be in a de rated value equal to it's real output, e.g., a 1 gigawatt offshore wind fram should be rtaed at 400 Mwatts, with the knowledge that at times it will be near zero and others much much higher. That is one of the fundemental and unchangeable feature of wind.

We Swiss also import German energy for nothing in Sommer

Hydro is power storage

Allot of resistanse from the Norwegian population when it comes to windmills on land. Offshore is a better option. Equinor is building a Huge offshore windmill park that can power 2,1 million houses. They have buildt offshore windmills in Scotland, building in the US and other places

I'm surprised you don't know the other reason for wind turbines, they reduce greenhouse gases. Electricity consumption can be drastically reduced with heat pumps.

@@dougmc666 It would be much more economical as well as environmental friendly to upgrade all the hydro power installations that Norway already has.... Wind turbines of 250 meter high on islands that till now were seen as unique nature area`s were no building activities were allowed, just for some foreign companies to make a buck, is not correct in many ways.. .But as with all the money coming from the oil, Norwegian government decides what is good for Norwegian people (and politicians are corrupt everywhere in the world)... Instead of investing some of the Oil Fund 1.3 Trillion USD worth into modernizing existing hydro power, it decides to destroy nature and landscape with monstrous machines and make life more expensive for Norwegian citizens...

Because 98% of norways enegergy comes from water, and it still has not used over half of usable energy that can be harnessed from dams

Yes, I checked the Wikipedia and it is 8 TWh.

@@teranova5566 Can you give the link please? I was surprised initially as well but it is a reservoir filled naturally in addition to being pumped hydro storage. Such capacity is very normal for large dam reservoirs.

it would be empty in 4 hours if it were only 8G

Don't forget you guys have a very very dumbass government! Foodprices and energy prices are insane in Norway! Even the Norwegians themselves complain of how expensive everything is! As a tourist, I was shocked and disgusted how everything is expensive as fuck, including petrol and fish (Two items Norway has an abundance of)

And some people complain for no reason and act so utterly weak and whiney for no reason, it's disgraceful. The only problem a person can have in Norway are themselves, the country is a blizz of opportunity.

Amici Nybråten Country has been blessed with lots of water falls resulting in lots of free energy and lots of petrol yet energy prices are insane for Norwegians. It's called failed free market policy adopting....

dontlaughtoomuch11 It's insane for outsiders. For an educated (not lazy) Norwegian, you've got more than enough salary to make up for it.

Amici Nybråten Hence why even an (educated) Norwegian complains of the stupidity of keeping energy prices high... Just because you have a higher salary doesn't mean that your purchasing power parity compared to other country is better... When even some Eastern European countries have higher purchasing power than a Norwegian who has to get a 30+ years loan to buy a house it raises several fundamental questions... And yes I know what I am talking about as a master in international economy...

I highly doubt that number is accurate. They would have to send someone to climb up and scrape off the turbine blades every day.
