The issue about the Norwegian electricity export has come up in relation to the parliamentary election in Norway next year.
The cables via Denmark to Germany is up for renewal in 2026 and the labour party, ironically, is signalling they are not in favour of renewing them due to the high prices on electricity in southern Norway. The more anti EU Center Party has long argued along similar lines, so a majority for this seems likely at the moment.
There is nothing specific in the news about the similar cable to Britain at the moment. But if the cable to Denmark is scrapped, it is likely they will look for ways to at least limit the export to Britain as well.
