Just to say
After the 18. February can people switch electricity supplier as normal. Byttestoppen is only temporary.
the Purpose is to prevent chaos in the transition to the so-called Elhub system. Elhub will make it possible to collect data from the new, automated strømmålerne that is installed in most Norwegian homes.
– It may well be that this is experienced as negative by some, and it is only to grumble, but it takes the matter no time to switch electricity supplier in the current system. When we get Elhub up to go, will leverandørbytte go faster, then it comes the customers, ” says Lars Ragnar Solberg to the Newspaper.

– It is only a few days ago the 23. January, he says.
To prevent the error
