Wärme spielt eine zentrale Rolle in der Energiewende. Rund die Hälfte des gesamten Energieverbrauchs in Deutschland entfällt auf den Wärmesektor. Durch die zunehmende Elektrifizierung dieses Energieträgers entstehen sowohl unmittelbare Wechselwirkungen mit der Stromversorgung als auch auch mittelbare Synergien bei der Digitalisierung der Energiewende. Dies betrifft nicht nur dezentrale Systeme wie Gebäudewärmepumpen. Im gesamten Fernwärmenetz müssen Hausübergabestationen und deren Betriebsführung cybersicher digitalisiert werden

As part of the project, 300 smart meter gateways (SMGWs), including the necessary BPL modems, will be installed in a wide variety of locations, ranging from street distribution boxes to transformer stations. The project was divided into two pilot projects, each addressing the specific requirements of urban and rural environments, respectively.

On 20. & On May 21, 2025, it’s that time again: At this year’s PPC Customer Meeting, we’d like to talk with you about the latest developments in our industry, take a look at what’s new at PPC in the coming years, and enjoy two days at the Mannheimer Manufaktur. Here’s a highlight to look forward to: We’ve once again brought together numerous partners who will join us in exploring these exciting trends.

Cambridge / Mannheim, March 11, 2025: GE Vernova and Power Plus Communications AG (PPC) have successfully tested the interoperability of their broadband powerline (BPL) technologies. This represents a crucial milestone for broadband connectivity between medium- and low-voltage grids. This integration is an important step toward a fully integrated smart grid.

Für unsere Branche ist und bleibt die E-World einer der wichtigsten Austauschpunkte – und dieses Jahr war keine Ausnahme. 33.000 Besucher, 980 Aussteller und damit genug Gelegenheiten neue, gemeinsame Projekte anzustoßen.

When the control of “
” consumers became mandatory under Section 14a of the German Energy Industry Act (EnWG) as of January 1, 2024, it was clear that grid operators and metering point operators would need an open, interoperable platform to tackle the digital control rollout in a cost-effective and efficient manner. With the successful certification of our CLS Adapter Control system in accordance with BSZ and TR-03109-5 by the BSI, these prerequisites have now been met. This provides legal and planning certainty. Nothing now stands in the way of the large-scale digital control rollout.
