The Energy Regulatory Authority (RME) gave Tibber a fee of NOK 8 million. The background is that Tibber switched to advance invoicing in September 2022. The company received strong criticism for the change and the Norwegian Consumer Protection Authority immediately notified that the practice was illegal. They later went back on this. The Norwegian Consumer Protection Authority immediately notified that the practice was illegal. – Consumers can be tempted by agreements that involve advance invoicing, but the invoicing must be predictable and verifiable. As we consider Tibber Noreg’s practice in this specific case, this is not the case, says director of RME Tore Langset in a press release. A penalty fee of NOK 8 million is the largest RME has given to any company. To Europower, he admits errors in the first two weeks of October 2022 in connection with the interim period of advance invoicing. Aksnes tells news that they take responsibility for the error and accept the fee. – As a responsible company, we must of course follow laws and regulations, and we deeply regret that such an error escaped our notice, he says.
