Lede’s electricity distribution charge is billed monthly. Some electricity suppliers issue a combined electricity consumption and distribution charge bill. If you have any questions about your bill or wish to defer payment, please contact the bill’s issuer.
Electricity distribution charge, electricity supply and mandatory power
You pay Lede an electricity distribution charge for your installation’s connection to the power distribution network and for having electricity “transported” to your home. In addition to the distribution charge, you buy the electricity you actually use from the electricity supplier of your choice. You can compare the various suppliers’ prices at strompris.no. If you do not have a subscription with an electricity supplier, Lede will deliver what is called mandatory power. Mandatory power is a temporary arrangement and costs more than the electricity supplied under a normal subscription contract.
Several electricity suppliers collect the electricity distribution charge on behalf of Lede, which means you will receive an all-in-one bill that includes both the electricity you use and our distribution charge.
