Accounting point

 

A concept related to a physical location, for example, a dwelling, which connects a customer to a DSO and an electricity supplier through a grid and a sales agreement, and in which the consumption or production of electricity can be measured

Accounting point identification

 

Accounting point's unique ID

Information uniquely identifying the accounting point

DSO reports

Accounting point status

Status

Information about the status of the accounting point

The information affects process validations and the necessities and dependencies of information fields.

DSO reports

Accounting point sub-type

Property accounting point

Information whether the site is a building accounting point or an apartment-specific accounting point

Based on the information, it is possible to separate the building accounting point from apartment-specific accounting points located at the same address, so that the contracts are made for the correct accounting points.

DSO reports

Accounting point type

 

Information whether consumption or (small-scale) production takes place at the accounting point, or whether it involves the production unit's own consumption

The information is used to separate accounting points of different types, and it is used in imbalance settlement calculations.

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

Estimated annual consumption 2

Estimated yearly usage 2

Estimated annual energy consumption at the accounting point in kilowatt hours (kWh) for a two-rate reading metering site

Annual consumption estimate for two-rate reading metering

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

Metering time step

 

Temporal accuracy of metering data that is reported to accounting point

Metering data management

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.
