What is the Enova grant?
Enova offers a grant scheme that rewards smarter electricity use by shifting larger loads to times with lower prices and lower grid load. From autumn 2025, you must apply for support before you start the measure. Once your application is approved, you’ll receive a decision and can proceed. Payment is made after you submit the final report within the deadline and meet all requirements. The scheme applies to year-round homes.
