Norvegia afirmă că nu mai dorește să fie „bateria verde” a Europei și că va fora în Arctica indiferent de poziția UE

Norway plans to continue oil and gas exploration in the Barents Sea despite EU's moratorium, asserting its energy independence. The country no longer identifies as Europe's 'green battery' and will not build new electricity interconnectors. Norway aims to maintain its oil and gas production levels until at least 2035, emphasizing Arctic resources for long-term energy security. The Norwegian Energy Minister stated that it is up to the EU to decide on purchasing Arctic oil and gas, while also highlighting the importance of these resources for local communities.
