Home charging reimbursement with Strømstøtte (Norway) – Employers and fleet managers

Strømstøtte is a Norwegian government electricity subsidy that reduces household electricity costs. When employees charge at home on spot price contracts, Monta deducts this subsidy before calculating the reimbursement amount. You reimburse only the net electricity cost your employee actually paid.

What is Strømstøtte

The Norwegian government reimburses 90% of electricity costs above 0.75 NOK/kWh (excluding VAT). This applies to employees on spot price contracts charging at their primary residence.

Without Strømstøtte reflected, you would reimburse the full electricity cost — including the portion already covered by the government. Monta ensures your reimbursement documents show only the net cost.
