Norwegian organizations demand more support for solar power and energy conservation
Published
Sixteen Norwegian organizations have joined forces to issue a joint demand to the government. They are now calling on the Storting to introduce five new measures in the 2027 national budget to accelerate the green transition in Norway.
Among the most important proposals is the demand for a new auction-based support scheme for solar power. The organizations believe that current support schemes are insufficient to utilize the potential for solar energy in the country. They want the state to better facilitate the ability for more people to produce their own electricity.
In addition, the group proposes an expansion of support from Enova. Enova is the state enterprise that supports projects for environmentally friendly energy, and the organizations believe that more funding here will make it easier for both private individuals and businesses to implement measures to save electricity.
The proposals come as part of the debate on how Norway will reach its climate goals by 2030. The organizations emphasize that increased investment in solar power and energy efficiency is necessary to ensure enough electricity at a reasonable price in the future.
It is now up to the politicians in the Storting to consider whether these demands should be included in the work on the national budget. The proposals will likely become an important topic in the upcoming budget negotiations.
