What is a PDR

The Redelivery Point is the identification code for natural gas supply: the gas equivalent of the POD.


The PDR (Punto di Riconsegna, Redelivery Point) is the 14-digit numerical code that uniquely identifies the physical point in the gas distribution network where natural gas is delivered to the end customer. It is the gas equivalent of the POD for electricity.

PDR code structure

The complete code has the format 01234567890123 (14 digits). It is assigned by the local distributor when the redelivery point is activated. Like the POD, it is permanent and does not change when switching suppliers or account holders.

Where to find it

The PDR is listed on the gas bill, usually in the "supply data" or "redelivery point data" section. It is essential for switching operations, account transfers, reconnections, or requesting quotes from new suppliers.

Meter serial number vs PDR

It is important not to confuse the PDR with the meter serial number. The PDR identifies the network point (fixed), while the serial number identifies the measuring device (which can be replaced). For communications with the supplier and for commercial operations, the correct reference is always the PDR.

For multi-site businesses: Maintain an updated register of all company PDR codes with address, local distributor, and associated annual consumption. This register is essential for aggregating volumes in supply tenders, obtaining volume discounts, and centrally managing gas supplies across all production sites.
