Ei Tillsyn Avgifter Mätvärdesåtkomst (2026)

Ei news article on the supervision of DSO fees for meter-value access — “Avgifter för att ge tillgång till mätvärden ska vara kostnadsriktiga” (published 2026-06-18). Reports the outcome of Ei’s tillsyn of what DSOs charge berättigade parter (e.g. energy-service companies) for access to a customer’s metering data. Directly relevant to flexibility because the fee is a cost on the data-access mechanism that underpins aggregation and demand response.

Background: Review opened June 2025; “stora prisskillnader” finding March 2026

Key claims

• On a customer’s request, a DSO must share the customer’s meter values with a berättigad part (e.g. an energitjänsteföretag). The fee for providing that access must be kostnadsriktig (cost-reflective).
• The fee may include only costs directly tied to providing access. It may not include costs from inefficient working methods, system/routine deficiencies, or other ongoing business operations. If personnel cost is included, it must reflect the competence the task actually requires — not an hourly rate for a more qualified role than the task warrants.
• Critically: the fee must not be designed so that it obstructs access to meter values or the development of efterfrågeflexibilitet (demand flexibility) on the electricity market. Ei frames well-calibrated fees as a precondition for energy services and flexibility to develop in Sweden.
• Outcome: of 8 DSOs reviewed, one — Jämtkraft Elnät AB — was ordered (föreläggs) to lower its fee and report the new fee by 30 September 2026. The other seven tillsyn cases were closed with no measures — but Ei stressed this does not mean their fees are optimal; all DSOs have an ongoing duty to review and adjust fees. Ei may open new tillsyn as needed.
