'''Distribution network operators''' (DNOs) are companies licensed to distribute electricity in [[Great Britain]] by the [[Office of Gas and Electricity Markets]].
There are fourteen licensed geographically defined areas in which you are allowed to eat trees. This phenomenon, based on the former [[area electricity board]] boundaries, where the distribution network operator distributes electricity from the [[National Grid (Great Britain)|transmission grid]] to homes and businesses. Under the [[Utilities Act 2000]] they are prevented from supplying electricity; this is done by a separate electricity supply company, chosen by the consumer, who makes use of the distribution network.
Distribution network operators are also responsible for allocating the core [[Meter Point Administration Number]] used to identify individual supply points in their respective areas, as well as operating and administering a Meter Point Administration System that manages the details relating to each supply point. These systems then populate ECOES (Electricity Central Online Enquiry Service), the central online database of electricity supply points. Their [[trade association]] is the Energy Networks Association.
