North of Norway has almost free electricity while the south is quite expensive. The only link between the two regions are through Sweden for now. A new power line will connect the two regions in Norway eventually. So the north will pay more and the south the same since everything will be absorbed by other European countries.
The electricity companies in the south also follow well the business strategy of privatising the benefits and socialising the losses. The water level in the lakes in the south are too low especially considering the difficult winter to come, yet they sometimes empty them to export to Scotland to make money now.
It’s a bit annoying but at least I get push notifications when the price is very high or very low.
