About the statistics
The information under «About the statistics» was last updated 26 November 2024.
Electricity price, i.e. the price that households pay to the electricity suppliers. This part of the power market was deregulated in 1991. Costs relating to electricity certificates, which is a subsidy system for renewable power, are included in the electricity price. According tothe Norwegian Water Resources and Energy Directorate (NVE) and the Swedish Energy Agency, the cost of electricity certificates was about 1 øre/kWh in 2012 and 2013.
Grid rent, i.e. the price that households pay for the physical distribution of electricity. Unlike the deregulated electricity price, the grid rent is regulated.
Taxes consist of tax on consumption of electricity, value added tax (VAT) and subsidies to Enova. All counties in Norway have the same tax rate for the consumption of electricity, apart from some parts of Troms and the whole of Finnmark, which are exempt. VAT is added after electricity price, grid rent and other taxes have been added. Nordland, Troms and Finnmark are exempt from VAT.
Electricity support: The Norwegian government launched a temporary electricity support package for households from December 2021 . The electricity support shown in the tables is the weighted average electricity support for the whole country. Quarterly electricity support is calculated by taking the weighted average of the hourly electricity support. To calculate the wieghts, Statistics Norway collect hourly household electricity consumption per spot price area from Elhub. Information about the hourly electricity support is collected from NVE (the Norwegian Water Resources and Energy Directorate).
Production value is defined as turnover corrected for changes in stock of finished goods, work in progress and goods and services bought for resale.
Cost of goods and services consumed is the value of goods and services consumed as input in the production process; excluding fixed assets (consumption is recorded as consumption of fixed capital).
Value added is the sum of production value minus the cost of goods and services consumed.
The standard industrial classification 2007 (SN2007) is used for determining the population basis for the statistics.
