The vast majority of power in Norway, Jim, is actually generated from a large number of small to medium hydroelectric schemes, some of which are pump storage. I visited there as a lad prior to going to uni as I had an interest in dam construction So their hydroelectricity reliance goes back a long way, fostered by the steep and mountainous terrain. The balance of power, these day, is reportedly generated by wind and thermal. The climate and geography is not conducive to solar but they manufacture parts for other countries to benefit from solar.
