Most of the non-electrified rail is in the northern parts of Norway. From what I can find around 10% of the fleet[1] operate on those non-electrified rails. However it includes Nordlandsbanen[2] which is our longest rail line at 729km.
Seems they're moving towards partially electrifying, and using battery or hydrogen for the remaining part. They've already started to acquire bimodal trains[3] for the transition.
