Støtte til småskala kommersielle flytende havvindprosjekter

Enova offers support for the development of small-scale commercial floating offshore wind parks. The scheme funds "utbygging av småskalaparker for flytende havvind i kommersiell drift" (construction of small-scale parks for floating offshore wind in commercial operation) and demonstration projects involving new technology or new concepts, with the goal of completing at least one smaller commercial offshore wind project.

Enterprises or consortia that wish to complete a small-scale floating offshore wind project at commercial scale may apply. All participating enterprises must be registered in the Norwegian business register and must meet general state aid requirements.

Support is limited to "2 milliarder kroner per prosjekt" (2 billion kroner per project), covering "inntil 95% av den totale investeringskostnaden" (up to 95% of the total investment cost). Projects must require more than 30 million euro in support to be eligible. No total budget pot for the scheme is stated on the page.

The instrument is tilskudd (grant), allocated through a competitive bidding process. The page states "Ingen kommende søknadsfrist akkurat nå" (no upcoming application deadline at this time); application timing is therefore not currently stated.
