Depending on where you live in Norway it can be quite expensive.
We are devided into zones because of reasons, rainfall, power lines and the placements of dams.
If you are lucky enough to live in the northern parts of the country electric power is cheap.
If you are blessed with residency in the southern parts electricity costs the white in your eye before you flip the switch.
Our infinetly wise government pays a percentage of it, I do not remember how big a percentage but I want to say 90% of it the bill from a sum. (bad explanation, blame it on my ability to express myself in this language) So it could have been worse.
To give you some perspective, I paid a third of what I do now last summer…….
Not to bad to be honest. We have a pretty good compensation from the state.
90 % of the kWh price over 0,7 nok is paid back from the state.
August for me was 1250kwh and paid total of 2700 nok.
Compared to the rest of Europe this is not bad at all considering our strong average household buying power.
Up until now i would think most of us in reality hasn’t had any issus if we are honest.
Cheapest in Europe, even as the natives complain
It’s not that bad after subsidy – and I live in the most expensive part of Norway, but we plan running our big appliances and showers based on Nordpool-prices.
It’s really not that bad, I just got my bill for August 980kr
This is for a family of 1 adult, 3 children including a teen 5yo and 8yo. We also live in the “expensive” zone.

Here’s a [map](https://euenergy.live/).
The most expensive electricity in Norway (the south, it seems) costs as much as in Romania. And we have average wages that are 4 times lower.
I think you’re doing fine. 🙂
There’s a Derby Town, Norway?
