Definition
A delivery point is the location in the electricity network where an electricity supplierCompany that sells electricity to end users - purchases power in the wholesale market and sells it to consumers. formally takes over delivery responsibility for a customer - typically at the main fuse of a building or at the transformer in an industrial facility. In Norwegian regulation, a distinction is made between the delivery point (the physical connection point) and the metering pointThe fundamental unit in Elhub - the unique point in the electricity network where energy is measured and settled, identified by an 18-digit GSRN number. (the logical entity in ElhubNational hub for metering data and market processes in the Norwegian electricity market.). For residential customers these coincide in practice, but in industrial and commercial contexts they can be separated. The delivery point determines the grid connectionThe process of connecting a new facility to the electricity grid and registering it as a metering point in Elhub. agreement and who bears technical responsibility for connection and maintenance. In contractual terms, the delivery point is the boundary for the supplier's performance: the supplier is responsible for ensuring available capacity up to the delivery point, while the grid companyCompany that owns and operates electricity grids and is responsible for power supply to end users. manages the network internally. In high-voltage supply contexts, the precise definition of the delivery point is critical for settlementTurning metering data into money. Consumption and production per metering point become what each party owes or is owed. and allocation of responsibility.
