consumer electricity
Explanation:
We don't use the "käyttäjäsähkö" in Finnish, instead we say "sähkön myynti kotitalouksille" or "sähkön vähittäismyynti". So I guess the word is a word for word translation from English.
Consumer electricity is, as we all know, electricity used by a household. We all have a consumer electricity meter at home and its basic function is to calculate the total energy consumed
during any given billing period.
