The Future of Power: Long-Term Drivers and Price Outlooks to 2050

Key themes we will cover

• Long-term price scenarios: Four scenarios for Nordic system and area prices through 2050, including Base Case, Carbon Constrained, High, and Low.
• Demand growth and rebalancing: How data centres, AI-driven load growth, green steel and hydrogen could reshape regional power balances.
• Regional divergence: Why northern price areas remain structurally oversupplied while southern regions face tighter balances and stronger price signals.
• Onshore wind economics: Why onshore wind remains the lowest-cost source of new generation, but faces sharply different market conditions across the Nordics.
• Permitting and local opposition: How regulatory barriers and local resistance are constraining new build in high-value southern areas.
• Flexibility and storage: Where rising volatility is increasing the value of battery storage, demand response, and hybrid solutions.
• Offshore wind and nuclear: What role these technologies are likely to play in the Nordic market under current policy and market conditions.
• Nordic position in Europe: How stronger links to continental Europe increase both export opportunity and exposure to external market dynamics.
