Do you want to join an EEG or set one up yourself? Then you absolutely need to know which part of the electricity grid your system is connected to. In other words, which transformer station and which substation your metering point is connected to. You can get this information from your grid operator (note: this is not the energy supplier!). By law, this information must be provided within 14 days.

 

Many grid operators in Austria now offer simple methods for obtaining this information:

​

1.  local area information via maps

​

Some providers use online maps on which you can immediately see which parts of the network belong to the same local or regional area. For an EEG, this quickly shows whether all members are in the same zone and also facilitates the search for new members.

​

2.  local area information via Quick-Check query

​

Some grid operators also offer a so-called quick check. Here you simply enter the metering point number and receive a code that shows which transformer station and which substation is responsible for this metering point. This makes it easy to check whether all planned metering points are in the same area.
