Grid rent prices for private customers
Grid rent (or network tariffs) consist of several components, including a fixed fee, an energy charge and public taxes. Grid rent covers the costs of transporting electricity to your home, including operations, maintenance, infrastructure development and state taxes.
How much you pay in grid rent depends on:
- How much power you use
- How much power you use at the same time
- What time of the day you use the electricity
See your consumption in the Elvia app and on My page, both are available in English. You can influence your grid rent by shifting some of your power consumption to times of the day when there is less of a load on the power grid.
Grid rent consist of three components
- Fixed fee
- The energy component
- Prices include all taxes
1. Fixed fee
The fixed fee is determined by categorizing your electrical consumption in to usage tiers. These tiers are based on your own electrical consumption, and are calculated by using the average of the three highest hours you used electricity the most (spread across three different days) during the course of a month. You can see this in the Elvia app.
Prices/network tariffs apply to all private customers, including all types of residences and holiday homes. Prices are valid from January 1, 2025. You can find historical price information here (Norwegian only).
Prices/network tariffs apply to all private customers
| Fixed fee | Daily maximum kWh per hour |
kr/month | Energy charge *Day |
Energy charge *Night and weekend |
| Tier 1 | 0-2 | 125 | 0.4865 per kWh | 0.3865 per kWh |
| Tier 2 | 2-5 | 190 | 0.4865 per kWh | 0.3865 per kWh |
| Tier 3 | 5-10 | 300 | 0.4865 per kWh | 0.3865 per kWh |
| Tier 4 | 10-15 | 410 | 0.4865 per kWh | 0.3865 per kWh |
| Tier 5 | 15-20 | 520 | 0.4865 per kWh | 0.3865 per kWh |
Our calculations show that most private customers never go beyond Tier 5.
(If the average of three daily maximums is 2 kWh, you fall into Tier 2. For example: Fixed fee tier 2: 2–4.9 kWh. Fixed fee tier 3: 5–9.9 kWh)
2. The energy component
The energy component is determined based on your electricity consumption in kilowatt hours (kWh). This is also based on the time of day when you use electricity.
*Periods
Day: Weekdays from 06:00 to 22:00
Night: Weekdays from 22:00 to 06:00
Weekends: Saturday, Sunday and public holidays
