Tilskot til energitiltak i kommunale bustader

Husbanken's Tilskot til energitiltak i kommunale bustader (grant for energy measures in municipal housing) is a grant scheme that supports energy-related measures in housing owned by municipalities. According to the page, "Det er kommunane som søker tilskot og gjennomfører tiltak" — it is the municipalities that apply for the grant and carry out the measures. The funding is directed at energy measures in rental housing, care facilities, and nursing homes owned by municipalities.

The scheme funds measures that reduce energy consumption or produce renewable energy. The page lists qualifying measures including insulation of outer walls, insulation of roofs and lofts, replacement of windows, thermal insulation of pipes in heating systems, heat pumps (liquid-to-water and air-to-water), solar collectors, solar cells, and biofuel boilers.

On amounts, the page states a maximum per project of "fem millionar kroner" (five million NOK). The grant rate may "ikkje overstige 50 prosent av dei faktiske kostnadene" — it may not exceed 50 percent of the actual costs. The page further notes that two-thirds of the available budget is allocated to municipal rental housing.

There is no application deadline. The page states "Det er ingen søknadsfrist for tilskotet, Husbanken behandlar søknadane fortløpande" — there is no application deadline for the grant; Husbanken processes applications on a rolling basis while funds remain. Applications are submitted through Husbanken's e-services solution using ID-porten at boligfinansiering.husbanken.no.

The page notes 2026 updates: the calculator and requirements were revised, doors are now included in the window-replacement area calculation, the roof-insulation measure was subdivided, and the technical minimum standards were adjusted.
