Electricity meters

Regulations amending the Swedish Energy Agency’s regulations and general advice (STEMFS 2011:4) onelectricity certificates

The main amendment concerns Chapter 3, Section 3 on the measurement of electricity generated in anelectricity generation plant that feeds electricity into an electricity network not covered by network concessions(non-concession-regulated network). The draft regulations require the electricity generator to measure the fed-in electricity every 15 minutes and report the measurement values to the Swedish Energy Agency. Thisconstitutes a change from the current requirement that the fed-in electricity must be measured every hour. As aresult of the draft regulations, the same requirements are being imposed on generation plants whosemeasurement point is into a non-concession-regulated network and generation plants whose measurementpoint is into a concession-regulated network.

The draft regulations also include some minor changes of a more administrative nature.
