Questions and answers
Why is electricity cheaper in Northern Norway?
NO4 covers Nordland, Troms and Finnmark and a small part of Trøndelag. It produces far more hydropower than its people use, and the lines south can carry only part of the surplus, so prices here are usually the lowest in Norway. Households in Nordland, Troms and Finnmark also pay no VAT on electricity, and in Finnmark and seven municipalities in northern Troms they pay no elavgift (electricity tax) either.
Why does the price change every 15 minutes?
Since 1 October 2025 the day-ahead market sets a price for every quarter hour instead of every hour. The hourly price in the table is the average of the four quarters. Strømstøtte and Norgespris are still worked out hour by hour.
Do the prices include VAT?
In NO1, NO2, NO3 and NO5 the switch shows prices with or without 25% VAT. Households in Nordland, Troms and Finnmark pay no VAT on electricity, so NO4 prices are shown without it and have no switch; the part of Trøndelag in NO4 pays VAT.
What is strømstøtte, and what does "after strømstøtte" mean?
If you don't have Norgespris, you get strømstøtte (electricity support) automatically. In 2026 the state covers 90% of the spot price above 77 øre/kWh excl. VAT (96.25 øre incl. VAT), hour by hour, for up to 5,000 kWh a month, and deducts it on your grid bill. The average "after strømstøtte" on the zone pages is what you then pay for the energy itself, before your supplier's mark-up.
