Norway is a producer of heavy renewable energy due to hydroelectric power. More than 99% of electricity production in mainland Norway comes from hydroelectric power. Total electricity production from hydroelectric power generated by 135.3 TWh in 2007 There is also great potential in wind power, offshore wind power and wave power, as well as the production of bio-energy from wood. Norway has limited resources in solar energy, but is one of the world's largest solar and solar photovoltaic solar cell manufacturers.
Systems for Assurance Origin is implemented by EU Renewable Energy Directive 2009/28/EC. In 2010, the average electricity consumption of Norwegian households was 36% renewable.
In accordance with the 2009 European Union Renewable Directive (later added in the EEA Agreement), Norway has set a national goal for renewable energy - 67.5% of the gross final consumption of energy supplied by renewable sources by 2020.

Norway is Europe's largest and the 6th largest hydropower producer in the world. The largest producer is the Norwegian government, through state-owned Statkraft which in turn, has nine of the largest hydroelectric plants and is also a major player in the international energy market. Electricity is also produced by 156 other companies. The capacity of a hydroelectric plant is about 31 GW by 2014, when 131 TWh is produced; about 95% of total production. Hydro production may vary 60 TWh between years, depending on the amount of rainfall, and the remaining hydro potential that has not been developed is about 34 TWh. As of 2010, 70% of the total potential has been developed, one of the highest ratios in the world. Dam safety review began in 1995 and by 2014, 26 percent of existing installations have been rehabilitated or upgraded. Producing capacity in Norway is increasing, between 2001 and 2014 there are 397 new projects assigned, greater than 1 MW. Improvements to older installations larger than 10 MW represent 70% of all new capacity. Electricity trading with wind power generated in the Netherlands and Denmark encourages the modification of the Norwegian hydro system.

Wind power
In 2012 Norway has 1.6 GWh wind power production, a fraction of total production. The following year is approved spending 20 billion NOK to double the wind power capacity from ca. 700 MW to more than 2 GW by 2020. In August 2016 the construction of the Viking 1 GW Fosen project begins. Increased power production from wind turbines will allow Norway to limit domestic hydroelectric consumption, which as it can be deployed is a valuable asset in the international power market. To further limit hydroelectric consumption, Norway imports electricity when over wind production in Denmark and the Netherlands pushes prices down there. To further develop the use of cheap wind power and removable hydro power, Norway is considering new transmission lines to allow the same trade with Scotland and Germany sometime after 2020. This is the North Sea Link and NORD.LINK caused by coming online in 2021 and 2020 respectively.
Transport
In the transportation sector, the share of renewable energy has increased from 1.3% to 4% between 2005-2010, and currently Norway has one of the highest number of electric cars per capita in the world. The government's initial goal of 50,000 electric cars on the Norwegian road was reached on April 20, 2015, more than two years earlier than expected. By reaching a stock of 50,000 electric cars, the penetration of the pure electric vehicle market reached 2% of all registered passenger cars in Norway. Penetration segment passes 3% by December 2015. With approximately 90,000 pure electric vehicles registered in mid-September 2016, the all-electric segment achieves a market penetration of 3.5% of all light vehicles on the Norwegian road.
The stock of lightweight plug-in vehicles registered in Norway passes 100,000 units of milestone in April 2016, making it the fourth largest plug-in market in the world after the US, China and Japan. In April 2016, the Norwegian plug-in fleet of electric vehicles consisted of approximately 81,500 all-electric passengers and light vehicles, nearly 17,100 plug-in hybrids, and more than 2,000 all-electric commercial vans. Total stock includes nearly 12,000 imported electric cars used.
In February 2016, the government opened for public discussion until July 1, 2016 proposed National Transport Plan 2018-2029 (NTP). The plan explains that the transport sector contributes approximately 16.5 million tonnes of CO 2 , which accounts for about a third of the total domestically produced greenhouse gas emissions in Norway. Road traffic, including private cars and heavy vehicles, accounted for about 10 million tonnes of CO 2 . NTP establishes policies and measures to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from private cars, trucks, ships, aircraft and construction equipment by about half to 2030.
To achieve this goal, among other things, NTP sets the goal that all new cars, buses and light commercial vehicles by 2025 have zero emission vehicles, these are all-electric and hydrogen vehicles. By 2030, heavy duty vans, 75% of new long-distance buses, and 50% of new trucks have zero emission vehicles. Also, by 2030, 40% of all ships in short ocean shipments must use biofuels or become low-vessel or zero emissions. The proposed strategy states that until a zero-emission vehicle takes over, all internal combustion engine cars are sold into plug-in hybrids, and wherever possible, biofuels should be used. In addition, government agencies should use biofuels, low-emission and zero emission technologies in private and chartered vessels and vessels. The plan also calls for supporting the spread of zero emissions vehicles, but also for reducing existing incentives, and proposes to invest more in public transport, on foot and on cycling.
