Energileverandøren

Energileverandøren is a term used in several European countries, particularly in Scandinavia, to refer to an energy supplier. This entity is responsible for the sale and distribution of electricity and/or natural gas to end consumers. These companies often operate within a deregulated market, meaning consumers have the freedom to choose their preferred supplier based on factors such as price, contract terms, and origin of the energy.

The role of an energileverandøren extends beyond simply providing power. They manage customer accounts, handle billing, and are responsible for customer service. In many cases, the physical infrastructure for electricity and gas delivery, such as power lines and pipelines, is owned and operated by a separate grid company, while the energileverandøren focuses on the commercial aspect of energy supply. Consumers typically have contracts with their chosen energileverandøren for a specific duration and at a set tariff. The market is characterized by competition, with various energileverandøren vying for customers.
