Electricity tax lower in the first three months of 2023
– Winter months in Norway are cold and dark. This is the time of year when most of us use the most electricity. With the high electricity prices we have had in the last year, the government thinks it right to have reduced the electricity tax in January, February and March 2023, says Finance Minister Trygve Slagsvold Vedum (SP) in a Press release.
The Storting yesterday adopted the low “winter rate” in 2023. The general rate of the electricity tax will be reduced from 15.41 øre per kWh to 9.16 øre per kWh effective from the beginning of the year until end of March 2023. From and including 1 April 2023, there will be a general rate that will apply until 2023.
