I wouldn't want to be Norway in a year with unusually little rain without being part of a bigger market.

  We can store several years of surplus.

    You can but that doesn't help if there is no surplus water to store. You can store 82TWh and your yearly consumption is about 500TWh. NO3 and NO5 are pretty much at their lowest points in the last 28 years, it's not a problem at all though because right now that's about 71% and 61% respectively. There are of course up- and downsides to being connected. An important upside would be that when you're connected to other markets you can import electricity when the price is low and pump the water back into the reservoirs to release it when the price is high again.

  My electricity bill for september is 10x (ten times) what it was one year ago, very similar kwh. I like being connected to the bigger market alot :D /s
