Norwegian Industry Minister Cecilie Myrseth, responsible for space policy, discussed Oslo's ambitions to join the EU’s secure communications projects in an interview with Euractiv on the sidelines of her visit to Brussels. As a member of the European Economic Area, Norway participates in the EU's single market, without being an EU member.
As a member of the European Economic Area, Norway participates in the EU's single market, without being an EU member. The EU Council of Ministers authorised the Commission to begin negotiations with Norway on joining the EU's space governments pooling of satellites capacities and the €10.6 billion secure communications project IRIS2.
As the space industry expands, our goal is to strengthen integration, much like in many other Norway-EU industries. As defence and space are closely linked together, joining forces will benefit Norway and Europe. It’s important for us to be a fully integrated member when it comes to these issues.
The EU Council of Ministers authorised the Commission to begin negotiations with Norway on joining the EU's space governments pooling of satellites capacities and the €10.6 billion secure communications project IRIS2. Negotiations kick-started on 13 March when she met with EU space chief Andrius Kubilius in Brussels.
The global residential solar storage and inverter market is experiencing rapid expansion, with demand increasing by over 300% in the past three years. Home energy storage solutions now account for approximately 35% of all new residential solar installations worldwide. North America leads with 38% market share, driven by homeowner energy independence goals and federal tax credits that reduce total system costs by 26-30%. Europe follows with 32% market share, where standardized home storage designs have cut installation timelines by 55% compared to custom solutions. Asia-Pacific represents the fastest-growing region at 45% CAGR, with manufacturing innovations reducing system prices by 18% annually. Emerging markets are adopting residential storage for backup power and energy cost reduction, with typical payback periods of 4-7 years. Modern home installations now feature integrated systems with 10-30kWh capacity at costs below $700/kWh for complete residential energy solutions.
Technological advancements are dramatically improving home solar storage and inverter performance while reducing costs. Next-generation battery management systems maintain optimal performance with 40% less energy loss, extending battery lifespan to 15+ years. Standardized plug-and-play designs have reduced installation costs from $1,200/kW to $650/kW since 2022. Smart integration features now allow home systems to operate as virtual power plants, increasing homeowner savings by 35% through time-of-use optimization and grid services. Safety innovations including multi-stage protection and thermal management systems have reduced insurance premiums by 25% for solar storage installations. New modular designs enable capacity expansion through simple battery additions at just $600/kWh for incremental storage. These innovations have improved ROI significantly, with residential projects typically achieving payback in 5-8 years depending on local electricity rates and incentive programs. Recent pricing trends show standard home systems (5-10kWh) starting at $8,000 and premium systems (15-20kWh) from $12,000, with financing options available for homeowners.
