Up to 50% funding for renewable energy investments

Enova’s funding covers up to 50% of the investment cost, making it easier for fish farmers to implement solutions like Alotta Solar Hybrid – a floating solar power system designed specifically for aquaculture. This technology integrates solar energy with existing power sources, reducing diesel consumption and cutting operational costs.

As Norway aims to achieve an emission-free industry by 2050, the transition from fossil fuels to renewable energy is vital. Enova, a Norwegian government enterprise focused on promoting eco-friendly energy practices, offers financial grants to accelerate this shift in the aquaculture sector. The program, “Climate and Energy Initiatives in Industry,” supports projects with and without installed battery packs. This means that feeding barges purely operated on diesel generators can include battery storage in the project and get financial support for the entire energy system.

The program covers up to 50% of investment costs for renewable energy initiatives, helping to alleviate the cost of transitioning to sustainable practices. This allows fish farmers to adopt new technologies without sacrificing profitability.

Simple application process and support from Alotta

Applying for Enova’s grants is straightforward, and Alotta offers comprehensive support throughout the application process, from initial submission to implementing renewable energy solutions like Alotta Solar Hybrid. This partnership allows fish farmers to focus on operations while smoothly navigating the grant process.
