Strømstøtteordningen for jordbruks- og veksthusnæringen

The electricity support scheme for agricultural and greenhouse enterprises provides financial support to active agricultural enterprises, greenhouse operations, and irrigation associations to compensate for extraordinary electricity costs. The scheme aims to help maintain Norwegian food production in agriculture and greenhouse production during periods of high electricity prices. Support is calculated based on electricity consumption, with different formulas for agricultural enterprises, greenhouse enterprises, and irrigation associations. Agricultural enterprises receive support for electricity costs in agricultural production and household consumption not already covered by other electricity support schemes. Greenhouse enterprises can receive support for electricity costs related to cultivation. Irrigation associations can receive support for electricity costs related to irrigation of agricultural land.
