I'm too tired to root around in google any more, but I suggest that you (or whoever wants to take a stab at the translation) check websites of other electricity suppliers for their terminology. It can be pretty specifific in this context.

You are right. It must be Lieferspannung. Is that supply voltage?

jccantrell Jul 20, 2005:

I will second Kenneth on this. With that 0.4kV, which is voltage, I think THIS is a typo. The other reference is for something else. The term "Lieferspanne" may very well exist, just difficult to imagine in YOUR context.

Ken Cox Jul 20, 2005:

Strange. The usual meaning of Lieferspanne is 'delivery lead time', and in the reference you cited it appears that Lieferspanne means something like 'delivery margin' or 'delivery markup'. Neither meaning fits with '0,4 kV'. Time to ask the client?

Lieferspanne does not appear to be a typo. See:

More context:
Arbeitspreis f�r gelieferte Wirkarbeit 6,0 Ct/kWh
Arbeitspreis f�r beanspruchte Blindarbeit 1,00 Ct/Kvarh
Der Leistungspreis ist mindestens f�r 70% der von Rheinenergie vertragsm��ig bereitzuhaltenden Leistungen zu zahlen. �berschreitet die Abrechnungsleistung die Vorhalteleistung f�r den jeweiligen Abrechnungsmonat, berechnet Rheinelektra den 6-fachen Leistungspreis.

Hmmmm, now that you mention it, and looking at the fact that it is a contract, supply, nominal... either would fit better than output unless you are looking at the output of the generators TO your loads.

Looks like it. But isn't that supply voltage?
