Historically, customer categorisation has usually implied categorization by fuse size, Industry-code, type of residence, estimated annual consumption and alternatively by actual consumption pattern. The latter has primarily been applied for larger consumers. Thanks to the hourly metering reform in Sweden, several calendar years of consumptions data with hourly resolution are now available, which presents new methods of categorization of customers. The logic behind categorizing customers is multi-layered, but often connected to retail, pricing, balancing, forecast, wholesale and portfolio management or enabling DR for balancing services.
