Dutch translation: meetpunt & meters

Tech/Engineering - Energy / Power Generation
German term or phrase: zaehlpunkte & zaehlwerke
in an excel file for a site about energy (no further context, unfortunately), they use 2 terms: "zaehlpunkte" ("metering point" in English), which would be: meetpunt (or "energiemeter") in Dutch.

But they also use "zaehlwerk" ("meter Register"in English), and I don't understand what that could be in Dutch: anybody any idea??
Thank you!!

(I couldn't think about anything else than "teller" or "meterteller", but in fact that is exactly the same as "energiemeter", so why use 2 distinct words for the same thing??)

Je zou de eerste keer bijv. "Electriciteitsmeter" kunnen gebruiken, daarna "meters": een kilowattuurmeter met 2 meters.

Het eerste ("meetpunt"/"aansluitpunt" - zaehlpunkte) is de locatie (in een woonhuis doorgaans de meterkast) waar het tweede ("meter" of "elektriciteitsmeter" - zaehlwerke) zich bevindt.
