Smart Metering
Electricity meters become smart with the help of our communications technologies. Our smart meter gateways and communications technologies ensure highly secure data communication. This offers data access to the end customer, the utility and other stakeholders without compromising end user privacy or endangering the security of the grid.
As the rollout of smart meters proceeds, and even where smart meters are not available, we are helping our customers to achieve their data communication goals efficiently and successfully, supporting them in all processes related to the planning, installation and operation of the communications infrastructure.

How Nessum will become the new infrastructure standard in 2027
2026 has demonstrated just how rapidly Nessum is gaining international prominence. Millions of Nessum devices shipped, new applications beyond smart metering, and a growing international ecosystem make it clear: broadband powerline is evolving from a technology for individual markets into a globally deployable communication solution.
PPC simplifies commissioning of controllable consumption devices with EEBUS SHIP Pairing
Power Plus Communications (PPC) is further expanding the interoperable partner ecosystem around its SMGWplus. At the EEBUS Summit & Plugfest 2026 in Cologne, PPC recognized thirteen partner companies whose systems successfully completed interoperability tests with the SMGWplus or the CLS Adapter Steuerung. The tests focused on the EEBUS SHIP Pairing Service and the reliable transmission of control commands.
Project Completion energy data-X: Building a Secure, Sovereign and Decentralized Data Ecosystem
After three years of successful collaboration, the energy data-X innovation project is coming to an end. Together with its project partners, PPC has worked on developing a secure, sovereign, and decentralized data ecosystem for the energy sector. A key focus was the integration of intelligent metering systems (iMSys) as a highly secure communication platform. Successful use cases demonstrate how energy data can help optimize processes, unlock flexibility, and enable new data-driven business models in the future.
Solar Manager and PPC achieve a breakthrough in the exchange of dynamic price information via TOUT
Dynamic electricity tariffs offer a simple way of giving end customers immediate access to the benefits of smart metering systems (iMSys). However, the transmission of metering data relevant to billing is only part of what the iMSys is capable of. PPC and Solar Manager have now successfully demonstrated that tariff and price information can also be transferred to the property and used there for local optimisation. The new EEBUS certification goes significantly beyond the previous EEBUS pilot qualifications.
