Network regulation

The main objective of RME's network regulation is to provide the basis for efficient electricity markets and efficient control of network companies as natural monopolies.

Network connection

Unbiased and non-discriminatory market access

Network tariffs

Tariff requirements and calculation methodology

Quality of electricity supply

Everyone connected to the power grid has an influence on the quality

System Operation

The Norwegian Power System

Network structure

The Norwegian electricity network is made up of three main categories: transmission (central), regional and local distribution:

  • the transmission network (400kV-132kV)
  • the regional distribution network (132kV-33kV)
  • the local distribution network (22kV-240V)

Statnett is the only Transmission System Operator (TSO) and responsible for the transmission tariffs.

There are about 80 network companies that own and operate regional distribution and/or distribution networks. Some also own minor parts of the transmission network.
