Electricity prices in Trøndelag surged sharply, reaching nearly five kroner per kilowatt-hour between 09:00 and 12:00, Trønder-Avisa reported.
The morning price spike arrived alongside winter weather across the region. Interior areas experienced cloudy conditions and rain, with snow falling at elevations between 100 and 300 meters.
Police in the Trøndelag Police District responded to reports of two vehicle-animal collisions overnight. Officers received a call at approximately 23:00 on Tuesday regarding an injured deer on Rådesvegen in Ogndal, Steinkjer.
“According to the caller, the deer was most likely hit by a car. We haven’t heard anything from whoever might have hit the animal,” Svein Helgetun, operations leader in the Trøndelag Police District, told Trønder-Avisa.
Viltnemnda was notified of the incident. A second collision involving a deer was reported at 00:15 on Sørbygdvegen in Snåsa.
“Otherwise, there has been absolutely nothing. It has been a super-quiet night in the whole district,” Helgetun said.
