Article 1 of the Dutch Electricity Act 1998 includes a number of exceptions to connections which are technically among small-scale consumers, but which can be treated as large-scale consumers.

Because the connections are treated like large-scale consumption, one could choose from several providers to deliver energy and implement measurement and data services. This may entail benefits for value, quality and service. Xemex offers its existing and tailor-made solutions to many of these providers.
