Norwegians Have Saved Nearly SEK 9,000 on Government Electricity Price Cap

Even in the middle of summer, our western neighbors have saved thousands of Swedish kronor on the government's offer of the Norwegian price for electricity.

Norwegians have saved an average of 1,400 kronor on the so-called Norway price for electricity over the past three months, according to figures from the energy company Fjordkraft.

If we look back to October 1 last year, when the Norgepris was introduced, the savings are approaching SEK 9,000, says Renate Larsen, a price expert at the company.

The figures refer to the three southernmost electricity areas. It is mainly there that electricity consumers have benefited from the government electricity subsidy, which involves a fixed electricity price of 50 öre/kWh.

In the southernmost electricity area, 78 percent of electricity customers have signed up for the Norgepris.
