Metering Point Operator

For each power grid, there is a grid operator who is typically also the metering point operator. This operator is referred to as the "default metering point operator." The default metering point operator plans and organizes the installation of digital electricity meters and subsequently operates them. However, consumers have the option to choose a different provider. Consumers can decide which provider will supply their digital meter. In this case, they would contract a "competitive metering point operator" to handle the installation and operation of the meter.
