consumption flow point


Explanation:
Just ¨consumption point¨ can work too. This is the term usually used for heat pumps, but I believe it applies to gas too.

Also ¨consumer flow point¨ if you want it to look less clunky. :-)

  • The current power plants are bulk units located far from consumption points...
