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 containing Metering Points and where all input to and withdrawal from the area can be measured.

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