In our January Short-Term Energy Outlook (STEO), which contains new forecast data through December 2025, we forecast new capacity will boost the solar share of total generation to 5.
It is now possible to envision—and chart a path toward—a future where solar provides 40% of the nation's electricity by 2035. This growth is necessary to limit the impacts of climate change, and our work to realize this vision could not be more urgent.
A new study highlights the potential of installing solar panels on building roofs and walls across Norway, estimating a technical capacity of 87 GW. The research, led by Hassan Gholami from Multiconsult, finds that up to 36% of this potential, or 31 GW, could be feasibly integrated.
In this guide, we'll walk you through the full process of building a DIY solar power station for beginners using LiFePO4 batteries, solar panels, and essential electrical components.
Granting a license is NOT an authorization to build unless all environmental review requirements have been met, including: review, analysis, and completion of the NEPA Checklist to determine if the project qualifies for a CatEX; filing an EA (where required); receipt of the antenna.
