Norwegian land-based wind power represents a market with substantial future potential. Since 2001, Enova has supported 14 wind power projects that are expected to deliver an annual production of about 1,600 GWh. Enova wants to contribute to further developing the Norwegian wind power market until the establishment of an electricity certificate market is in place. Enova's financial framework for this announced round is up to NOK 1 billion. This framework has been set on the basis of Enova's overall budget and in accordance with Enova's total objective of 18 TWh by the end of 2011.

Enova SF was established by the Ministry of Petroleum and Energy for the purpose of promoting the work towards an environmentally friendly restructuring of Norway's energy consumption and energy generation. Enova shall contribute to new, environmentally friendly energy generation and energy conservation equivalent to 18 TWh by the end of 2011.
