Concession fees (licence fees)
An other important rule in advantage of the affected area ie the host municipalities is the right to Consession fees.
Hyrdo power producers are obliged to pay concession fees to the affected municipalities, cfr Act 12.14.1917 No. 16. § 2 section 13, and Act 12.14.1917 No.17 § 11.
The Concession fees are partly parts of the local value added, and partly a compensation for damages and disadvantages - a kind of local "enviromental fee or enviromental tax".
The Concession fees are placed in local business development funds, where the yield is used to development of local infrastructure.
