The Ministry of Oil and Energy sent proposals for amendments to the Act on electricity subsidies, together with regulations, for consultation. The goal of the changes is to make the scheme more predictable and reliable.
We wrote about the proposed changes on Wataha.no in the article: The government introduces changes in the electricity subsidy system
On February 15, the government announced several changes to the electricity subsidy program for households to make it more predictable and credible.
It is proposed that the calculation of the electricity allowance should be based on the hour-by-hour spot price and that this change should apply from electricity consumption in September 2023 inclusive.
