Northern Norway: The average price of electricity increases on Thursday

In Northern Norway, there will be an average price for electricity of 92.9 øre per kilowatt hour (kWh) on Thursday and a maximum price of NOK 1.055.

Thursday’s average price per kWh is 12.6 øre lower than Wednesday and 53.1 øre higher than the same day last year, figures from hvakosterstrommen.no show.

The maximum price on Thursday of NOK 1.055 per kWh is between 8 and 9 in the morning. It is 48.2 øre lower than Wednesday and 60.9 øre higher than the same day last year.

If you ignore the electricity subsidy, but include the consumption tax (15.84 øre per kWh) and the fee to Enova (1 øre per kWh), the maximum price in Northern Norway would be NOK 1.22.

90 per cent of the price above 73 øre is covered by the electricity subsidy, and the subsidy is calculated hour by hour. This means that in the hour the price is NOK 1.055, 29.3 øre is covered.

In Northern Norway, there is no VAT on electricity for households, and in Finnmark and Northern Troms, households and public administration also do not have to pay the consumption tax.

The minimum price is 78.3 øre per kWh between 2pm and 3pm and is the lowest in the country. (NTB)
