Accounting point characteristics |
| Technical properties of the accounting point | Electric power |
| Electric power at the accounting point in kilowatts | Electric power is used in metering data validation. | DSO reports |
Estimated annual consumption | Estimated yearly usage | Estimated annual energy consumption at the accounting point in kilowatt hours (kWh) | The annual consumption estimate can be used when selecting a product for the customer, in the supplier's energy acquisition and when forming profile time series for the imbalance settlement of reading metering sites. | An estimate by the DSO based on metering history | |||

Fuse size |
| Size of the main fuse at the accounting point | The fuse size may provide grounds for invoicing in a sales or a grid agreement. The information is also used for metering data validation. | DSO reports | |||
Heating depending on electricity |
| Information whether heating at the accounting point is dependent on electricity. | The dependence of heating on electricity partly affects whether the parties have a statutory right to disconnect supply to the accounting point in winter. However, Datahub does not validate disconnection requests or notifications based on this. | DSO reports | |||
Metering method |
| Information about the metering method at the accounting point | The metering method indicates the temporal and qualitative accuracy of metering data. It is used in imbalance settlement calculations. | DSO reports | |||

| Information whether reactive energy metering data is available for the accounting point | Based on the information, the supplier and third party can order reactive energy metering data for the accounting point. | Datahub maintains | |||
Remotely readable |
| Information whether the accounting point meter is remotely readable | Information to the supplier for better customer service. Metering data from non-remotely readable meters must be collected on site, meaning that the reading of metering data from the meter requires more time and effort. The value depends on the metering equipment. | DSO reports | |||
