Cadastral data
We have extensive expertise in obtaining cadastral data from the mapping authority. They take care to ensure that the correct systems receive the correct information in the event of changes. You can call it "cleansing" of data to achieve/ ensure better data quality for property information data.
The Norwegian Mapping Authority is the master for property information. To cover and have updated cadastral data at all times in all applications and systems that use this data. Here we have ready-made integrations that can be easily put into use.
MAFI
Measurement, Invoicing, Billing, and Collection. (MAFI in Norwegian) This is a term used in connection with the power grid companies' invoicing of grid fees and electricity consumption.
Our consultants have good insight into all the steps in the MAFI chain and have worked extensively with, among other things:
- Metering - Simplifying the process of monitoring missing meter values
- Consumption billing - Streamlining the monitoring of larger customer bases
- Invoicing of consumption - Streamlining the process from when an invoice is created to when it is sent to the end user
- Payment of invoices - Monitoring and streamlining payment files
- Invoice collection - Simplifying processes related to unpaid invoices.
Tariffs
We have consultants who are skilled and knowledgeable in the development of tariffs for electricity suppliers, grid owners, and power producers.
Some tariffs that have been created include, for example, grid owners:
- Power tariff - This is a tariff type that grid owners use against most end-users today.
- Maximum tariff - A tariff calculation used against end-users with high consumption.
- Plus customers - This includes, for example, end-users with solar panels. And they supply electricity to the grid when they produce more than they consume.
Efficient process for collecting meter readings
At Cegal, we have experience and expertise in collecting meter readings, and we work with the process flow in Valider, Kamstrup/EMS10, and more.
For processing collected meter readings, we use MDMS/MDM systems.
Our core areas and modules we have worked with include:
- Validation, Estimation, and Editing (VEE)
- Import/export
- Balance settlement
- Calculation
- Automating setup of new metering points and components
- Shipment files for measuring components (files for mass registration of new measuring components)
We also have good knowledge of submetering, such as:
- water meters
- energy meters
We have worked on the summation of these meters, which should equal zero against the main meter.
SCADA stands for "Supervisory Control And Data Acquisition" and is a system with software and hardware elements.
This system is critical for many companies as it helps maintain efficiency, process data for smarter decisions, and communicate system issues to help reduce downtime.
When it comes to real-time operation for power grid and production, we have a lot of expertise in SCADA.
Here, we work to automate/ streamline processes for our customers. Some of the things we have contributed to include:- Automatically sending SMS to end-users in the event of a power outage.
- Automatically sending SMS to affected customers during planned power outages.
- Streamlining the use of data collected by SCADA.
- Extensive knowledge of the regulations that affect the ICT infrastructure for SCADA.
Our consultants have worked extensively to streamline security cards in the SCADA module. This allows power grid operators/production companies to easily keep track of which installers have rightful access to the facilities. This solution communicates with sikkerhetskort.no
One of our strengths is integrations between different systems and formats. We see a great effect and benefit for our customers by automating the data flow between systems.
Cegal has great expertise in using SOAP API, REST API, JSON, and files, to mention some formats we have used to achieve an efficient integration flow.
Central Integration Platform (CIP) is such a solution that helps you as a customer to adapt integrations between specialist systems and services. The solution is developed based on the fact that many companies have an increasing number of systems that need to communicate with each other.
CIP allows the customer to connect directly to the solution without installing any new software, also known as a SaaS solution.
For critical transactions that the customer has, monitoring with notification can be added according to the customer's needs. CIP has the complex connections to third parties and has 24/7 monitoring of the solution. The main goal of the solution is simply to provide a simpler and more efficient everyday life for our customers. Many companies, also outside the energy industry, use it.

Distribution network operator
We have consultants who have worked extensively on tasks related to distribution network operators, which may result in messages to Elhub or indirectly affect the MAFI process.
Here are some of the processes and infrastructure our consultants have worked extensively on:
- Meters
- Consumption meters
- Plus customers
- Transformer meters
- High-voltage meters
- Antennas
For distribution network operators to have an efficient workday, it is important to have automated handling of work orders, such as:
- Installation of new meters and any current and voltage transformers
- Replacement of meters and any current and voltage transformers
- Removal of meters and any current and voltage transformers
- Closure of measuring points
- Image processing - Images taken during work and associated with the completed work orders. They are linked to a measuring point and stored on a server.
- Installation/maintenance of line components.
