Norwegian Electricity in Geographic Dataset (NoreGeo)

We present a comprehensive geographic dataset representing the electricity system in Norway. We collect data from multiple authoritative sources, process it into widely accepted formats, and generate interactive maps based on this data. Our dataset includes information for each municipality in Norway for the year 2024, encompassing electricity infrastructure, consumption, renewable and conventional production, main power grid topology, relevant natural resources, and population demographics. This work results in a formatted geographic dataset that integrates diverse informational resources. A detailed description of our dataset is available via our pre-print Citation for our work: Shiliang Zhang, Sabita Maharjan, Kai Strunz, Jan Christian Bryne, "Norwegian Electricity in Geographic Dataset (NoreGeo)," arXiv preprint arXiv:2510.09698 (2025). doi: 10.48550/arXiv.2510.09698 BibTex:@article{zhang2025norwegian, title={Norwegian Electricity in Geographic Dataset (NoreGeo)}, author={Zhang, Shiliang and Maharjan, Sabita and Strunz, Kai and Bryne, Jan Christian}, journal={arXiv preprint arXiv:2510.09698}, year={2025}} We explain the features in each of the dataset files in the following: File name Number of records Feature name Meaning Unit Norwegian daily electricity price.csv 1,830 Date CET/CEST Time according to CET/CEST NA MBA Market balance area, or the electricity price area in Norway NA spot_price Electricity price Eur per MWh Norwegian daily electricity price.geojson 1,830 Electricity_price_area Market balance area, or the electricity price area in Norway NA Shape_length Length of the boundary of the electricity price area Meter Shape_area Area of the electricity price area Square meter Electricity price and time stamp Time in the format DD.MM.YYYY.
