Detailed Solution

The first nation to produce hydroelectricity was Norway.
Norway's westerly winds produce copious precipitation, and most of the 65,000 biggest lakes are located at elevations of at least 1,650 feet. Norway, therefore, has enormous hydroelectric potential. Over three-fifths of that potential, which is considered to be economically exploitable, had been utilised by the end of the 20th century. Nearly all of Norway's electrical consumption needs are satisfied by hydropower plants.
