More than 60% of Norway's energy comes from renewable sources. These energy sources include hydropower, which produces 99% of the electricity in mainland Norway; wind power; wood bio-energy; and, in a limited way, solar energy. Norway has plans to become carbon neutral by 2030. Norway also exports a great deal of its energy.
