English translation:reserve power subscription
Explanation:
Agree with Leif that ab is abonnement, or subscription. The kraft is likely electrical power, or strøm, except we usually say so. As in erstatningsstrømabonnement. Then there is the erstatning bit. Erstatning is replacement, or reserve, or backup - but in Norway, where electrical energy is abundant and cheap, I don't know that there is such a product or service on the market. May be different for major power users, though. So in Leif's well-pointed words - good luck.
