Below we have explained some of the words and concepts connected to buying electricity:

Electricity consumption
 

  • Målar = meter
  • Målarnummer /målepunkt-ID = meter-number/
  • Målerstand = meter digit

 
The meter is a device that sums up your electricity consumption. Each household has a meter and each of them has a unique meter-number. The meter-number must be stated when you report your electricity consumption.

There are two kinds of meters.:
The new kind of meter will automatically read and report your electricity consumption.

If you have the old kind of meter you must check the meter-digits and report this to Finnås Kraftlag.

You report this either by our free phone-number: 800 68 108, or by SMS to number 2258, or by calling our office phone number 53428900. 

You find your meter connected to the fuse-box in your home, or in a cabinet outside your newer house.

By January 2019 all Norwegian households will have installed the kind of meter which automatically reads the consumption.

Information about payment
 

  • Kostnader = Expenses
  • Forfallsdato = Payment Due Date
  • Betaling = Payment

The distribution of power
 

  • Nett = power grid

Power grids distributes electric power to all households in Norway. The companies operating the power grid act as monopolists and are responsible for the distribution of electricity in separate geographic areas. Finnås Kraftlag SA is the local power grid owner in Bømlo.
 

  • Nettleige = transmission cost/fee

Transmission cost (also called fee) is a cost representing the building and maintaining of the power grid in Norway. All electricity customers has to pay a transmission fee to have electricity delivered to their home. This cost is the same regardless of who electricity company you choose to buy your electricity from.
