This doesn’t seem right, electricity in Norway is generally cheap, how can 20% raise cause hundreds of dollars difference for residential customers? Also I’d be totally willing to pay 20% more if that meant removing some annoying noise in my area.
Edit: maybe instead of dollars they meant Norwegian Krone? 10 NOK = 1 USD, that would make more sense
- mikehall314 2y agoI’m trying to find the source of the $300 claim. Mostly it’s appearing on Bitcoin websites, which say it’s an estimate from Noranett. At least one Bitcoin site is reporting the figure as $300 per year. The Noranett press release announcing the 20% increase does not put a dollar (or krone) amount on it.
