1 Country report for Norway Oslo, Norway - 7 November 2017 Heidi Juhler Norsk Fjernvarme / Norwegian District Heating Association slide 1

2 Facts on DH in Norway by 2016 DH in most of the cities in Norway with more than inhabitants DH Market Production: DH - 6 TWh. DC GWh 17% 25% Estimated potential by 2025: ~ 10 TWh Many small systems 58% Largest DH system in Norway: Fortum Oslo Varme ~ 1.7 TWh/Year. Residential Commercial Industry slide 2

3 94,6% renewables in 2016 Fuel oil: 1,1 % Natural gas: 4,3 % Flexible electricity: 13,1 % Recovered heat: 50,4 % 2016 Bio energy: 21,5 % Ambient heat: 9,7 % slide 3

4 Current key issues: Regulation of DH Energy Act Removal of concession areas for DH needs a legal proses, waiting for proposals Price regulation, security of supply requirements, TPA negotiations A new system border, net energy demand, from 2018 in the energy labelling system? slide 4

5 Current key issues Regulation of DH Building code Equal treatment of direct electricity and other renewables for all buildings The system border still based on net energy need Requirement for energy flexible systems limited to 60% of the heat demand in buildings over 1000 m2 The Parliament has adopted return to former code: - Restriction on use of direct electricity for heating - 100% flexible systems in DH areas slide 5

6 Important developments New political targets for on security of supply and innovation. - Ban on use of fuel oil in buildings in TWh Energy efficiency by Investment support schemes for all sectors: 233 Million Euros in Still not predictable terms for the DHC sector But increased energy prices making new investments, expansion in existing areas, and revived interest from investors. Hafslund Varme -> Fortum Oslo Varme. 40% emission reduction by 2030: Electrification of all sectors, fossil fuel ban in consideration in the industrial, agricultural and transport sectors slide 6

7 Future research issues The role of DHC in the future flexible, decarbonized Nordic Energy market - Benefits of flexible use of electricity in the DH sector - The importance of energy flexibility in buildings and in other sectors, in a market dominated by renewable electricity? The role of DHC in the circular economy Partner in Zero Emission Neighbourhoods research program ( ) - Building sector and the energy sector working together - 6 project areas in Norway, living labs, 4 using DHC existing networks - The goal is future cities in 2030 with zero emissions - Different views on electricity from the grid and waste heat is top matters slide 7

8 DHC opportunities Municipal energy planning shaping green areas using waste heat and RES heat that otherwise would be wasted. DH and electricity making fossil free construction areas reducing emissions, and cheaper than fossil solutions. The benefit of DHC in a dominant hydro power system thermal load for better security of supply, flexibility and reducing system costs, 140MNOK/ 16 M Eur by 2025, and price reduction for the end-user. The increased benefits for DHC when the price of primary energy sources increases more that the increase of other products in the society. slide 8

9 DHC Challenges Knowledge about DHC The need of central heating systems in buildings to use waste heat and RES heat Recognition of the value of DHC systems in research, regulations and environmental assessment methods Waste heat as CO2 neutral resources To motivate students on all levels of education to choose DHC matters and energy flexible systems in buildings. slide 9
