Volue and the Norwegian Electric Vehicle Association (Norsk elbilforening) have announced a partnership. This initiative will reward EV owners who charge their vehicles at optimal times. The program offers discounts to members living in areas covered by Norgesnett for grid-friendly charging.
Optimizing Solar Energy and Grid Efficiency
Many Norwegian homeowners have upgraded their homes with solar panels. These panels generate electricity for individual households and also contribute excess power to the grid. However, when surplus energy is produced during low-demand periods, it can create grid operational violations. Volue has developed a cutting-edge solution to ensure that surplus energy does not go to waste. When excess electricity is generated, nearby consumers can receive discounts on their electricity bills and network fees if they use the surplus energy to charge their EVs. Additionally, grid-friendly charging reduces energy consumption during peak demand hours, easing the load on the power grid.
Building on Previous Success
This announcement follows the successful launch of eNabo last year through Volue’s partnership with Norgesnett, Norway’s first service allowing customers to be rewarded for using electricity in ways that support local grid efficiency. The collaboration is part of the Spark by Volue initiative, a growing network of partners committed to advancing sustainable energy solutions.
Driving Sustainable Energy Solutions
With this latest initiative, Volue and the Norwegian Electric Vehicle Association continue to drive forward innovative solutions that make energy consumption more efficient, sustainable, and rewarding for consumers.
“Through grid friendly charging of EVs, we are transforming home EV charging from a grid capacity challenge into part of the solution,” says Kjetil Storset, Head of Spark by Volue. “Together with the Norwegian EV Association, we are making it easier for EV drivers to charge smart, saving money while supporting a more stable power grid.”
