Greenhouse grants
Businesses in the greenhouse industry.
Individuals or businesses planning to install heating systems in greenhouses can apply.
Investments in
- boiler houses
- new heating system, maximum output 6 MW
- fuel storage for up to one year's consumption
- heat distribution
- heat pumps and heat recovery systems that meet your own energy needs
- solar energy systems – only if they involve new concepts and/or solutions
You can include costs for planning, design and building permits if these were not covered by an earlier feasibility study or preliminary project. You must install a heat meter as part of the project, and the project must be sufficiently profitable after the investment.
We do not provide grants for fuel production equipment or transport equipment.
Feasibility study and assessment
You can receive funding for a feasibility study that may lead to the development of a facility (maximum 6 MW).
Preliminary project and establishment
The preliminary project includes activities related to setting up the business, such as
- preparation of tender documents
- entering into agreements
- design work related to the facility
You can receive funding for up to 35 per cent of approved costs, capped at NOK 10 million.
You can receive a grant covering up to 50 per cent of external costs for a feasibility study, capped at NOK 50,000.
1. Complete and submit your application
You can find the agricultural application form by logging in to 'My page' with BankID. We will ask you to provide the information and documentation we need to assess your project. In the application, you can use the 'Talk to an adviser' button to ask for guidance before submitting it. Remember, you must submit your application before starting the project.
2. Assessment
We process applications on an ongoing basis, and several people assess each application. Our guidelines and regional priorities determine which projects we can fund. We receive many applications and have limited funds, so we cannot approve every application.
3. Decision
Your customer adviser presents your application to the decision-maker. Once we have made a decision, we will notify you by email, and you can find the decision on My page. If we offer you funding, read the terms and conditions and learn how we make payments.
