By January 1, 2019, all electricity customers in Norway will be required to have a new automatic electricity meter, also known as Advanced Metering and Control Systems (AMS).
The electricity meter registers electricity consumption on an hourly basis and sends information about your consumption to Elhub and on to your grid company. This provides faster and more accurate collection of meter values and a better basis for the invoice. The information is made available to you via the internet or paper as usual. This is the biggest modernization of the electricity grid in over 100 years.

Smart electricity will give you better control of your consumption, society will have better security of supply and, in the long term, we will benefit the climate by using energy more efficiently.

Your benefits:

1. Automatic reading
Your consumption is automatically registered every hour. Automatic registration removes the possibility of meter misreading.

2. Take control of your consumption
It’s easy to take energy-saving measures. Find out where you can save electricity and how much you are saving. The information is made available online or on paper, to those who want it.

3. Accurate electricity bill
The invoice is based on actual meter readings

4. Quick troubleshooting
Smart electricity meters can alert you to earth faults, voltage faults and more.

5. Future-oriented
Electricity meters open up for new products and services that will help to further reduce consumption in the future.

What is Elhub?

This is the station where data from the meters is sent to. Data is then forwarded to your electricity supplier. You never have to read your meter again!

Elhub will be the central data hub for meter readings and market processes in the Norwegian power market. Elhub’s main functions are automated meter reading processing and meter reading distribution, as well as the processing of market processes such as supplier switches, transfers and reporting. Elhub will change and simplify everyday life for all power suppliers and grid companies in Norway.
