tilslutningspunkt

Tilslutningspunkt is a term used in Danish and Norwegian contexts to denote the physical interface at which a customer’s installation connects to a public network or service. It marks the boundary between the public infrastructure operated by a network company and the private installation owned by the customer. The exact form and location vary by sector (electricity, gas, water, telecommunications) and jurisdiction, but the concept is used for planning, metering, billing, safety, and fault management.

In electricity networks, tilslutningspunktet is the point where the customer connects to the distribution grid. It is used for determining who pays for capacity and for how faults are isolated, and may coincide with the metering point. The network operator typically maintains the network up to and including the tilslutningspunkt; the customer is responsible for the installation beyond that point.

In other sectors, such as gas, water, or fiber connectivity, the tilslutningspunkt serves a similar boundary purpose, marking where service provider equipment ends and the customer-owned installation begins. The exact responsibilities and responsibilities around maintenance and safety can vary by country and contract.

Regulatory frameworks establish requirements for connection procedures, safety standards, and fees at the tilslutningspunkt. The concept is important for system reliability, service delivery, and market access in liberalized networks.
