Although Norway currently has a problem, they don't have enough transmission capacity to keep up with the ever increasing demand of electricity due to the electrification and are now supposedly going to buy transmission capacity from the neighboring country of Sweden which itself has had problems with transmission capacity between the north and south parts mostly due to lack of investment in new transmission capacity for decades since they could always "buy electricity from the neighboring countries if the need arise". Sounds like a good idea until you factor in that Sweden shuttered some nuclear reactors, all located in the south, and then the war in Ukraine came along with a water shortage shortly thereafter and suddenly there was an energy crisis in Europe.
Electricity exports from Norway reached 25,792 gigawatt-hours in 2022. By comparison, the electricity imports to Norway amounted to 13,270 gigawatt-hours that year.
