Yes, this is very obviously true. But there are very good historical reasons why this is the way things have traditionally worked in Norway. First, heat pumps were very uncommon until only a few years ago, since no one needs A/C in this cold climate. A heat pump can have a 10-year payoff with our electricity costs, although this has gotten better in recent years. There is no gas infrastucture. And it makes no sense to switch to high-energy appliances untli you're switched to more efficient heating.
