What this does not say

Quoted verbatim from the section’s warnings field, exactly as the API returns it. They are not translated: a translation would show something other than what your response actually contains.

The grid company is found by organisation number: NVE's concession polygon at the address names the holder (concession_holder_org_number), and Elhub's register names the grid owner with that number (grid_company_*). Nothing is matched on names. elhub_match says why a step stopped: no_unambiguous_concession_polygon (the address lies outside NVE's generalised polygons and the nearest one is either over 2 km away or not clearly nearer than another holder's), or concession_holder_not_an_active_elhub_grid_owner (NVE's layer still names a company since merged into another; the successor is not inferred).
concession_match is inside_concession_polygon, or nearest_concession_polygon with concession_distance_m when NVE's coastline generalisation left the address just outside every polygon; the nearest is used only within 2 km and when no other holder's polygon lies within 1 km beyond it.
A grid company can operate several grid areas (nettområder). grid_area_id is set only when the company has one active grid area, or exactly one of them lies in the price zone of NVE's elspot polygon at the address (nve_price_zone); otherwise grid_area_resolution is ambiguous and candidate_grid_areas lists the company's active areas. price_area follows the grid area, or the company when all its areas share one price area, or NVE's elspot zone at the address when the company has a grid area in that zone (price_area_resolution says which); otherwise it is null. The tariff (nettleie) is not included.

Fields

6 of 20 fields are value fields — the ones that decide whether a record actually says anything. The rest are context: identifiers, codes and timestamps. Fields marked “open” return values to anonymous callers; the rest require a key.
