Distribution grid and power supplier - what's the difference? As an electric power customer you are actually making purchases from two companies, your local grid company and your power supplier. The grid company owns all electric meters and the power grid in its license area; it distributes electricity to your house and is responsible for maintaining a reliable and effective distribution grid.

The power supplier sells you the electric power you use. There are several companies to choose from, and each company has several products to choose between. It's the customers responsibility to find and choose a power supplier. If you have not already done so, we recommend that you contact the electricity provider of your choice as soon as possible. A list of electricity providers is available from the Norwegian Competition Authority's website; www.strompris.no.

An agreement to purchase electricity must be agreed upon with the electricity provider of your choice. The agreement with the electricity provider will normally come into effect two weeks after we have received confirmation from the electricity provider of your choice. If you forget to find an electricity provider The statutory obligation to supply electricity is meant to be a temporary arrangement and the electricity so supplied will normally be more expensive than the electricity purchased from an ordinary electricity provider.
