Smart Grids
With state-of-the-art communication technology such as broadband powerline and the sensors in the grid, stakeholders of our energy systems, producers and consumers, are increasingly networked and must coordinate. With our secure and innovative BPL products, the power grid becomes a smart grid, able to withstand the demands such as renewable generation and e-mobility, and risks such as cybercrime and non-technical losses.

Energy Metering, Calisen and PPC conclude largest meter asset provider agreement for the German market
Strong momentum for the rollout of smart meters in Germany: PPC, Energy Metering and Calisen conclude the largest Meter Asset Provider (MAP) agreement for the German market. In the MAP model, Calisen purchases and owns intelligent metering systems (iMSys) and leases these assets to wMSB Energy Metering on a long-term basis. As a competitive metering point operator, Energy Metering installs the iMSys as part of its services by its own customers. Calisen is thus making international capital available for the German smart meter rollout.
initEnergy becomes part of PPC connect: Successful interoperability with EEBUS
PPC presents the PPC connect Award to initEnergy at E-World, recognizing the successful interoperability for Section 9 EEG and Section 14a EnWG between the EnergyGateway from initEnergy and the CLS Adapter from PPC.
EEBUS successfully implemented: neoom receives PPC connect Award for market launch in Germany
At E-world 2026, neoom was honored with the PPC connect Award. This confirmed the successful interoperability between neoom's dual-intelligent BEAAM energy manager and PPC's CLS adapter.
Energy Metering relies on EEBUS relay converters from Weidmüller and PPC to accelerate the control rollout
The EEBUS Relay Converter (ERC) enables digital control even where only relay switching inputs are available – and is therefore ready to accelerate the control rollout with immediate effect. The product was developed jointly by PPC and Weidmüller. Energy Metering, a subsidiary of Octopus Energy, a competitive metering point operator, was also involved from the outset. The solution will simplify the implementation of Section 14a of the German Energy Industry Act (EnWG) and Section 9 of the German Renewable Energy Sources Act (EEG). Delivery will start in mid-2026.
