Seems to be a recent thing, as I was looking at data from Feb 2023, and unrelated to Norway’s use of renewables.
Interesting article nonetheless.
They should definitely cone to a different pricing agreement with Norway as to not negatively affect them.
And it will be even less of a problem once those countries properly ramp up their installation of more renewables and storage.


Iowa and South Dakota rely mostly on wind and are amongst the states that have the cheapest electricity in the USA - https://web.stanford.edu/group/efmh/jacobson/Articles/Others/24-08-Letter-Vance.pdf

It’s certainly true it’s easier when you have hydro though.


Norway has one of the lowest. And they don’t have only 62.7%.
99% of their energy comes from renewables.
And in the USA, some of the states with lowest prices have the highest % of renewables.

Renewables + storage (batteries, etc.) can be more than enough. And you can get that in a much lower cost, at a much faster time than nuclear.

The same person has also published studies and plans for 100% renewables in the USA and in the world.

Grid reliability in the USA with 100% renewables
World
All of which he updates every couple of years.


He also posted a list of the top 10 states by electricity demand met by renewables (Which is also in the linked pdf).
There’s also a list of countries by renewables percentage, but it’s from 2021:
