målepunktID

MålepunktID, or measurement point ID, is a unique identifier assigned to a specific metering point in an electricity network. A metering point is the location where electricity is delivered to or produced for a customer, or where a consumer boundary or injection occurs. The målepunktID is used to unambiguously link meter readings, customer accounts, network assets, and trading relationships across the energy market.

The identifier plays a central role in administration, metering, distribution, billing, and data exchange. It enables utilities, grid operators, meter data companies, and other market participants to track energy flows, manage settlements, and exchange data with accuracy and traceability. The målepunktID helps ensure that readings and invoices are attributed to the correct customer and metering equipment, even when relationships among customers, meters, or suppliers change over time.

Lifespan and changes: Typically, the målepunktID remains tied to the physical or logical metering point and persists through changes in ownership or supplier. If a metering point is relocated, split, or merged, new IDs may be assigned or existing IDs updated according to the regional registry rules. Proper handling of the ID is essential for continuity in billing and grid management.

Management and format: MålepunktID is issued and maintained by the responsible distribution system operator or a central national registry, depending on the country. Formats are designed to be globally unique and machine-readable, often alphanumeric, and regulated to support secure data exchange and privacy protections. Access to and use of the ID are typically restricted to authorized market participants and official systems.
