Wheather update

Week 14 saw increasing temperatures in the Nordics, resulting in a decrease in power consumption by 5 percent. Norwegian power production fell by more than consumption, resulting in net imports of 364 GWh. The highest level of imports since the spring of 2013.  

The low power production in Norway is partly due to little inflow and low reservoir levels. Norwegian reservoirs are around 27.2% lower than normal, resulting in continued high electricity prices in Norway around 40 øre/kWh last week.
