POWER: Statnett Proposes New Network Tariff Model

POWER

 Statnett has introduced a new tariff model for consultation, aiming to optimise existing grid capacity and support the expansion of Norway’s power network, the TSO said.

  • The proposed model seeks a fairer distribution of costs while ensuring necessary investments are made efficiently by better reflecting customer capacity use costs and adjust the cost distribution among regular consumers, industry, and power generation.
  • Business demand for grid capacity is high, driven by both new connections and existing industry electrification, Statnett added.
  • The existing tariff model, established in 2003, needs updating to align with current power system dynamics and provide clearer investment signals.
  • In 2024, Statnett's share of network rent for households and general business activities ranged from 3 to 6 øre/kWh, depending on geographical location.
  • The consultation process is open for input until 4 April, with a joint meeting scheduled for 10 March to discuss the proposal.
