Nordic harmonization of retail markets
Market neutrality through equal treatment of participants

6. How we plan to use the data for statistical purposes
New opportunities: Data from Elhub is linked to personal-ID number and organization number for companies.
Advantages: Reduced responce burden, improved timeliness, improved quality (?),
But, no test data from Elhub yet.

7. Data from Elhub in official statistics
Electricity, monthly figures
Electricity, annual figures
Energy consumption in households
Energy use in the manufacturing sector
Energy balance

8. New statistics from Elhub data?
Supplier switching data
El-Certificate volumes
Can other institution produce this kind of data?
