Tech/Engineering - Energy / Power Generation / EU legislation
Danish term or phrase: indfødningstariff and aftagepligt
These are probably really obvious but for the moment I can't hit on anything I like! The doc is an EU doc about electricity production and networks. Indfødning could be 'feed-in' and aftage could be 'tapping'? Any bright ideas?

Explanation:
While I'm sure that the first term is the most commonly used term in the context of energy-related issues, the second one is more an interpretation.
You could argue that while the term is indeed implying an obligation to receive the produced electricity, the original word doesn't imply that this electricity is being renumerated, but in most cases that's what is happening.

The definition of "Aftagepligt": Ifølge Elforsyningsloven har Energinet.dk aftagepligt for visse typer el-anlæg. (Udspecificeret i Elforsyningsloven.) Det betyder, at Energi-net.dk skal aftage el fra de pågældende producenter og afregne den til markedsprisen.
Med "aftagepligt" forstås her, at produktionen er omfattet af aftagepligten i elforsyningslovens § 59 a, stk. 1-3, og at denne aftagepligt rent faktisk ud-nyttes af producenten.
Aftagepligten forpligter Energinet.dk til at varetage den fysiske salgsopgave og balanceringsydelse for visse anlægskategorier. Det vil sige, at Energi-net.dk skal aftage elektriciteten fra producenterne omfattet af bestemmel-sen og afregne salgssummen og pristillæggene med disse.
