How do I set up home charging reimbursement with Strømstøtte (Norway)?
This article explains how the Norwegian government electricity subsidy Strømstøtte affects home charging reimbursements and how employers can invite employees, review requests, and view session breakdowns in Monta Hub.
Strømstøtte is a Norwegian government electricity subsidy that reduces household electricity costs. The government reimburses 90% of electricity costs above 0.75 NOK/kWh (excluding VAT) for employees on spot price contracts charging at their primary residence.
Without Strømstøtte reflected in the calculation, you would reimburse the full electricity cost — including the portion already covered by the government. Monta deducts the subsidy automatically so you reimburse only the net cost your employee actually paid.
How do I invite an employee?
Before an employee can submit a reimbursement request, invite them to your company team.
- Log in to Hub and open the team.
- Go to the Reimbursements tab.
- Select the Employees tab and click Invite employee.
- Select to invite a single employee or multiple employees in bulk.
- Enter the phone number or email address the employee uses to log in to Monta.
- Select a Member Group if applicable.
- Select the user role for the employee.
- Select the Member Price Group.

The employee will receive an invitation. Once accepted, they appear in the Employees tab and can begin submitting reimbursement requests.
How do I review and approve reimbursement requests?
- Log in to Hub and open the team.
- Go to the Reimbursements tab.
- Open the Employees tab.
- Select an employee with a pending request.
- In the Review reimbursement request panel, review the electricity cost details. The cost formula is: Spot pricing (incl. VAT) + Strømstøtte + additional costs.
