From Wikipedia:
Average annual [Norwegian] hydropower generation capacity in 2019 was around 131 TWh, about 95% of total electricity production.
Of the total production in 2011 of 128 TWh; 122 TWh was from hydroelectric plants, 4795 GWh was from thermal power, and 1283 GWh was wind generated. In the same year, the total consumption was 114 TWh. Hydro production can vary 60 TWh between years, depending on amount of precipitation, and the remaining hydro potential is about 34 TWh.

Yeah, this line caught my eye, too: “renewables account for 98% of Norway’s electricity system.”
The author conveniently forgot to mention this is only possible because of Norway’s unique location in the world providing plentiful hydro generation.
The author seems to be suggesting or hinting “if Norway can achieve 98% renewables, why can’t all the other countries?” But the author is an idiot. As are the people who conceived and designed this ship.
Another solution in search of problem. It’ll probably attract the “eco tourist” crowd for a while.
The idiots shut down all their nuclear reactors which used to be the backbone of their grid.
