Claim 1: “renewable energy, which now powers all of Norway’s electricity grid”
MISLEADING
The claim states that renewable energy 'powers all' of the grid. However, evidence from PagerPower specifies that the grid is powered by 99% renewable energy, and another source states it is 'almost entirely renewable'. While very close to 100%, stating it powers 'all' is technically an overstatement based on the 99% figure provided in the evidence.
