Statsbygg får nobelprisvinner Jon Fosses strømstøtte

Statsbygg får strømstøtte for æresboligen Grotten, som huser nobelprisvinner Jon Fosse.

Statsbygg får nobelprisvinner Jon Fosses strømstøtte

Statsbygg, a Norwegian government-owned company, received around 126,000 kroner in energy subsidies for businesses between January and November of the previous year, according to data obtained by E24 from the Reguleringsmyndigheten for energi (RME). Hege Njaa Aschim, a director of communication at Statsbygg, explained that some of these properties are empty but still require electricity to prevent deterioration.

These properties may include prisons, youth centers, and cultural historic buildings like Grotten, a former residence of Nobel Prize-winning author Jon Fosse. Aschim stated that residents of Grotten do not pay for the electricity themselves. The company aims to determine how to handle these subsidies, particularly when they are received by the company rather than the residents.

RME noted that they are currently investigating this issue and will decide on the appropriate actions once the inspection is complete.
