Insights

Qualify for Enova's smart power management incentive with xComfort Bridge

Eaton, 08/31/2023
Today, there is an ever-growing demand for smart and intuitive energy management, driven by the increasing cost of energy in Europe, the need for more efficient and renewable energy sources, and efforts to reduce CO2 emissions.

In response to these trends, Enova, the Norwegian state-owned enterprise tasked with promoting the transition to a low-carbon society, is offering households up to NOK 10,000 for installing an intelligent power management system. To qualify, the system must be able to control defined fixed loads such as water boilers and electrical heating based on spot price tariff data. For instance, such a smart system would tell the boiler to heat up when energy tariffs are low to provide warm water for later use during periods of peak demand.

And thanks to the new energy monitoring and control features that we are planning to release mid-2024, the xComfort Bridge will be able to do just that. In other words, by opting for xComfort, you can receive financial support for equipping your home with an intelligent power management.

How to access Enova funding

To get financial support from Enova, your xComfort system must:

  1. be installed by a professional within the last 12 months,
  2. control a minimum of two fixed electrical loads (water boilers, EV charging, electric floor heating)
  3. read the home total power consumption in real-time from the main electric meter

If your system meets these requirements, you can apply for financial support at enova.no. In the process, you also need to provide proof of the cost of installation.

You can also download a form here for your electrician to fill out.

xComfort products that you need to qualify for the Enova subsidy

With the combination of these Eaton products, you will be eligible for Enova’s smart power management incentive:

  • xComfort Bridge controller (part no.: CBCA-00/01 / catalogue no.: 196811 / EL no.: 456079)
  • xComfort Bridge app (for iOS and Android, available for download via app stores) 
  • xComfort Heating actuators (part no: CHAU-01/01-1x) and/or xComfort Switching actuators (part no: CSAU-01/0x)

In total, you will need at least two actuators to control two separate loads, as stipulated by Enova, but you can mix and match them to suit your needs.

In the case of heating applications, one of the following products will also be required for sensing the room temperature:

  • xComfort Room Controller Touch thermostat (part no.: CRCA-00/xx)
  • xComfort Multifunctional Push-button, 55x55 mm (part no.: CTSA-0x/04)

We are currently working on the energy control features of xComfort in line with Enova’s requirements, and in the future, we will continue to develop the xComfort platform to ensure that we fulfil the latest relevant market requirements, both for energy control and interoperability.

Wireless control without dust, dirt or hassle

Our xComfort portfolio also includes other products that allow for wireless control of various applications in your home. For example, our Go Wireless packages simplify the implementation of controls for lighting, shading, ventilation, heating and more. You can thus easily upgrade to a smart home, both in new and existing properties. Each of the Go Wireless packages contains a pre-programmed, wireless device for a specific application that is fast and easy to install. While the associated pushbuttons can be placed on any flat surface, including glass walls, the actuators are designed to be mounted in flush boxes or ceilings.

FAQ

Yes, after getting the energy management software update and configuring the ENOVA relevant features for at least 2 fixed loads (water boilers, eV charging, electric floor heating) you can get up to NOK 10,000 if your xComfort system was installed by an electrical professional in the last 12 months.

Yes, you need to update your xComfort Bridge and app to access this feature.
spacer
No, if you already have an xComfort Bridge in your home, you will get the energy management update feature without any additional cost.
spacer
Yes, you are eligible for the Enova subsidy if your system was installed by a professional in the last 12 months and is used to control at least two electrical loads following the Enova requirements, such as a water boiler, eV charging wall-box or electric floor heating.
spacer
The mentioned electric loads in the Enova requirements have energy storage capability (e.g. heat energy in water boilers or floor heating and electric energy in eV batteries) to enable the load shifting effect. Therefore, it depends on your electric heaters, if their load type is eligible for the Enova incentive.
spacer
No, the energy management feature required for accessing the Enova subsidy will only be available for the xComfort Bridge.
