Støtte til bredbåndsutbygging i Finnmark fylkeskommune - 2024-2025

This is the broadband-rollout grant ("Tilskudd til bredbåndsutbygging") published by Finnmark fylkeskommune on its own service page at ffk.no. The page describes the support funders distribute regionally to extend broadband to households and businesses that the market does not reach commercially.

Who may apply: the page states "Bare kommuner kan søke om støtte og prosjektene må være i tråd med tilskuddsmodellen." (Only municipalities can apply for support, and the projects must be in line with the support model.)

Purpose of the funding: "Midlene kan bare brukes til etablering av tilbud til husholdninger og virksomheter som i dag mangler: Tilbud om 300 Mbit/s." (The funds may only be used to establish an offer to households and businesses that today lack an offer of 300 Mbit/s.) The page further describes targets including a minimum of 1 Gbit/s download and 150 Mbit/s upload, or mobile coverage using 4G/5G technology, for areas that lack commercially viable investment.

Funding frame: "Stortinget har for 2026 bevilget 159 110 000 kroner til etablering av bredbåndstilbud" (For 2026 the Storting has allocated NOK 159,110,000 for establishing broadband provision). Of the national allocation, "Rammen for Finnmark er 4 806 732 kroner pluss tilbakeførte midler fra tidligere år." (The frame for Finnmark is NOK 4,806,732 plus funds returned from previous years.) These are the allocation amounts printed for the 2026 round; no per-application minimum or maximum is stated.

Application deadline: "Søknadsfristen for 2026 er satt til 17. juni 2026." (The application deadline for 2026 is set to 17 June 2026.)

How to apply: "Søknad sendes via Regionalforvaltning sine nettsider." (The application is submitted via Regionalforvaltning's web pages.) The page links the application portal at https://www.regionalforvaltning.no/Startside/Velkommen.aspx?Ordning Id=1388&Cookie=0.

Note: this scheme record was originally created from the state-aid register stub for the 2024-2025 validity period (stoettetiltaksnummer 1000000510). The funder's own landing page now presents the current (2026) round of the same recurring broadband-rollout grant; the deadline, amounts, and contact above are transcribed from that live page.
