What is the Enova support?
The Enova support is a grant scheme that encourages smart management of larger loads in your house. The reason behind is the increasing use of electricity in Norway, much of which is driven by electric car chargers, which puts a great strain on the power grid. In order for the grid in Norway to withstand this load, we have to distribute the electricity use throughout the day. By installing Futurehome as a smart power management system, you will reduce your electricity costs, in addition to protecting the environment and our power grid. There are mainly two support schemes that apply to Futurehome users: "smart power management for houses" and "smart water heater".
At the bottom of the article, you can download a system declaration that you can attach to the application process. It describes how Futurehome qualifies for Enova support.
Tip: The documentation you need to apply for Enova support can usually be found at https://www.boligmappa.no/.
Smart power management
The Enova grant will cover 35% of the costs (up to NOK 10,000) and has 12-month retroactive effect. This means that if you have installed Futurehome with at least two moveable loads and a HAN sensor during the last 12 months, you qualify for Enova support.
Requirements:
- The management system must be able to receive price information and manage electricity consumption of a hot water tank, vehicle charging, underfloor heating and other moveable consumption* at times of the day with the lowest electricity price without compromising comfort.
- The system must control at least two such moveable electrical products in the house.
- In houses with solar cell systems, the control system must be able to control moveable consumption for the highest possible utilisation of self-produced electricity.
- The control system must have mechanisms to avoid overloading the main fuse and be prepared for effect-based tariffs for grid rental.
- The installation must be carried out by professionals.
*By moveable consumption, Enova means electricity consumption that can be moved to times of the day with the lowest electricity price, without affecting comfort or people's everyday routines. Examples of this type of electricity consumption are: hot water tank, electric car charging and underfloor heating. Lights, stoves, TVs and high-pressure washers are examples of electricity consumption that is not suitable for moving.
