FAQ

Yes! And there are two main reasons for this:

1. Electricity companies want to make as much money as possible from existing customers, but still want to grow. Therefore, they make themselves attractive to new customers by constantly creating new inexpensive power agreements, while existing customers often have more expensive agreements (which they make even more expensive by increasing the price). In a way, loyal customers end up subsidizing new customers. By switching regularly, you always end up in the category of “new customer” – and that is advantageous.
   
   
2. If you do not want to keep track your power plan yourself (or have us at Slipper do it for you) every month, it pays off with a cheap spot price plan. But if you follow a little more closely, you can easily beat the spot price by switching between the many different types of plans available in the power market.

It is very individual, primarily because it depends on how high your electricity consumption is. An average Slipper customer saved NOK 3,708 in 2021. Customers with smaller apartments typically save less than this, while customers with larger houses can save far more than this.

Slipper actually does what many people think Tibber does. Tibber is a power company with a power agreement; spot price + 1 øre/kWh markup and NOK 39/month. It’s a good agreement, but there are better ones – and Slipper is a service (not a power company) that constantly moves you to the best power agreements.

Yes, you can! 🙂

Motkraft has only one electricity plan, and it’s a spot price plan that costs 29 NOK/month + 2 øre/kWt.

Slipper is not an electricity company. We are a service that ensures that you always have the best electricity agreements. And even though we like Motkraft (which is non-profit – very cool!), there are cheaper electricity agreements available.

Fortunately, you don’t have to do anything! We take care of all the practical aspects related to both the first, and also future, electricity switches. You don’t even need to terminate your previous electricity plan, as it happens automatically.

We will notify you by email before each switch, so you are always up to date on which electricity supplier you have.

Your electricity bill will always end up directly in your online banking. This happens automatically as long as you have activated “always eFaktura” (95% of Norwegian bank customers have already done so). If you haven’t done it, you will receive a paper invoice in the mail.

All electricity companies offer “Avtalegiro” if you want your bill to be paid automatically.

Yes, you do! 😊

The electricity subsidy is based on the average spot price in your area, and is independent of which electricity plan you have. In other words, it still pays off to have a good electricity plan!

You don’t need to do anything since the electricity subsidy is automatically deducted from your grid rent/electricity bill.

No 😊

In fact, the electricity support is completely “blind” to your electricity plan, and is based on the spot price in your electricity zone. That means that regardless of which electricity plan you have, you will receive the same amount in electricity support. See this article for more information about electricity support.

Slipper + electricity support = win-win!

Grid rent:
The grid rent bill covers maintenance and development of the power grid (cables, power poles, etc.) and for the transport of electricity from power plants to your electrical outlet.

Electricity:
The electricity bill covers the electricity you consume. The electricity is purchased by electricity companies on the Nord Pool exchange and then sold to you.

As it is now possible for electricity companies to offer grid rent and electricity on the same bill, many people think of both grid rent and electricity when referring to the “electricity bill” in everyday language, but in reality, these are two different products from two different companies.

Not yet – but we are working on it! Unfortunately, in Norway, no third parties have automatic access to electricity data like electricity companies do. But we don’t give up easily! We are working hard to solve this for both us and other players who want to contribute to making electricity understandable, manageable, and reducing consumption.

In the meantime, we can recommend downloading the app called “Strømpriser”.
