Norway is unlikely to remove the guarantees of origin since the market has grown significantly in the last years, Norway’s energy minister Terje Aasland said, cited by Montel.

• “To remove the guarantees of origin as an income [for the power sector], when they have grown and become as big as they are now, I don’t think that is right,” Aasland said.
• Norway’s power-intensive industry has objected to GOs, arguing that they need to pay extra to document renewables use in a country that only produces renewable electricity.
• Norway plans to introduce changes to GOs before September next year that benefit local industrial power consumers, Aasland said earlier this year.
• Norway is the largest net exporter of GOs in Europe. GO sales in Norway rose by 38% to 38TWh last year, NVE data showed.
