consumption profile, use profile Explanation: IMO it literally means 'sales profile' as seen from the perspective of the supplier (how much they sell to the customer), but here it's more usual in English to word this from the persective of the customer (esp. given the possessive form: *your* profile). sample refs: Hydro-Québec - Residential Customers Will the new system affect electricity rates or the way my power ...

something like "range of services you offer". Explanation: The term Absatz is used as a general term for what can be sold (i.e. gas and electricity in ths case). Not being a native speakter, I'm not clear about whether "service" is appropriate in the context of utility provision. |

range of products and services Explanation: ...if the term has been properly used in the German source, it describes the amount of products and services (in units) (to be) sold - in contrast to *sales*, which stands for the turnover made with sold products and services (in Euros, USD etc.) --> thus, *range of products and services* would be correct, which is also used in a gas business context (see British Gas reference) Reference: http://www.marketing-lexikon-online.de/Lexikon/Stichworte_A/...
