Conclusions
Remember to download your maps before heading to Norway.
Even better if you do when buying the flights.
Also, bringing long socks is a good idea, as the temperature can drop suddenly at night, plus you will avoid hurting your feet.

Norway’s energy landscape is quite unique due to its abundant natural resources.
For electricity generation, Norway relies almost entirely on renewable sources, with hydroelectricity being the dominant source. In 2023, hydropower accounted for approximately 89% of total electricity generation, with wind power contributing around 9%. This makes Norway’s electricity production nearly 100% renewable and emission-free.
However, when considering the total energy supply (which includes fuels for transport, heating, etc.), the picture is more diverse:
- Hydroelectric: Still the largest single source, making up about 41% of the total energy supply in 2023.
- Oil: Accounts for roughly 28% of the total energy supply. Norway is a significant oil producer and exporter.
- Natural Gas: Contributes about 16% to the total energy supply. Norway is also a major natural gas producer and exporter.
- Wind, Solar, etc.: Make up a smaller but growing portion, around 4.3%.
In summary, while Norway is a major producer and exporter of oil and natural gas, its domestic electricity consumption is overwhelmingly powered by hydroelectricity, making it one of the cleanest electricity grids in the world.
