Støtte til bredbåndsutbygging i Vestland

"Søk tilskot til breibandutbygging" (apply for grants for broadband rollout) is a grant published by Vestland fylkeskommune on its own pages. According to the scheme page, the grant supports broadband expansion in Vestland county for households and businesses that lack gigabit coverage and where commercial deployment is not financially viable. The page states a requirement that after rollout, all households and businesses in the build-out area must receive gigabit coverage: "Etter utbygging er det krav om at alle husstandar og verksemder i utbyggingsområde skal få gibabitdekning."

On eligibility, the page states "Kommunar i Vestland kan søkje" (municipalities in Vestland can apply), and that several municipalities may apply jointly for projects spanning multiple areas.

On funding, the page does not state a specific grant amount. It states that funding derives from "ei rammeløyving frå Digitaliserings- og forvaltningsdepartementet" (a framework allocation from the Ministry of Digitalisation and Public Governance). No specific figure or rate is published on the page, so the funding fields are left null.

On timing, the page does not give a fixed deadline; it states that application forms open "i starten av mai" (at the start of May), and that project completion is required by 1 October 2028. Because the page does not state a single application deadline, application mode is left as unknown and closes at null.

Applications are submitted through the regionalforvaltning.no portal. The page states required attachments: a completed application form, marked areas in the Fylkesatlas map, and address lists in Excel format using a provided template. The contacts named on the page are Kristin Arnestad (+47 90 61 68 43, kristin.arnestad@vlfk.no) and Hans Inge Gloppen (+47 97 41 40 40, Hans.Inge.Gloppen@vlfk.no). No "Sist oppdatert" (last updated) date is shown.

This is the funder's single live broadband-rollout scheme page. Several other stubs in this directory (annual register entries for the same recurring scheme) point at the same page and are marked blocked as duplicates.
