Non-discriminatory access
Glossary Page
Energy network operators are obligated to provide access to their transmission and distribution networks for electricity and gas to third parties. In doing so, they must pass on their own costs plus a reasonable profit margin. It is not allowed to discriminate against external energy suppliers compared to their own distribution (in the case of integrated energy providers). In the context of smart grids, this means that every user must be connected to the network under equal conditions.
