This is a huge caveat. They're basically saying they outsourced all the things that renewables currently don't do very well to other sections of their grid so they could claim 100% renewable.
It's kind of like saying this one town by a wind farm was powered by 100% renewable energy. Not technically incorrect, but very, very misleading.
