A Metering Grid Area (MGA) is a core domain concept in the European energy market.

The ENTSO-E Harmonized Electricity Market Role Model defines an MGA as:

A physical area where consumption, production and exchange can be measured. It is delimited by the placement of meters for continuous measurement for input to, and withdrawal from the area.

In other words, an MGA is a collection of Metering Points operated by some System Operator, usually a DSO.
