Key findings
-
Norway and the UK deregulated early, but their household pricing systems took different paths. This is especially visible in how prices are communicated.
-
Electricity is considered a basic necessity in both countries, and governments intervened during the 2021–22 price surge.
-
Market principles were set aside to protect the public and maintain trust.
-
Future systems should prevent energy poverty, reduce exposure to price shocks and encourage energy-saving behaviour.
