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.
PPC Successfully Completes EEBUS Certification as First Provider
PPC is the first provider to successfully complete the new EEBUS certification. This confirms that, within the certified scope of functionality, the PPC solution meets the requirements of the EEBUS specifications and interoperates seamlessly with other EEBUS-certified devices. The new EEBUS certification goes significantly beyond the previous EEBUS pilot qualifications.
6 million Nessum IPs shipped – technology becomes the leading BPL standard worldwide
With Daikin Industries Ltd. in the heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) sector and Power Plus Communications AG (PPC) in the smart metering sector, two members of the Nessum Alliance are demonstrating how IEEE 1901-based technology can be integrated into existing infrastructures.
5G RedCap for Smart Meter Rollout: E.ON Grid Solutions, Westnetz, Telefónica Deutschland, and PPC Test New Mobile Communication Technology
Telefónica Deutschland, E.ON Grid Solutions, Westnetz, and Power Plus Communications AG (PPC) have successfully tested 5G RedCap as a new mobile communication technology for smart meter gateways. To do this, a 5G RedCap-enabled smart meter gateway from PPC was connected to the meter operator’s backend systems via Telefónica Deutschland’s 700-MHz network. This allowed the partners to simulate the entire communication chain under conditions close to real-world scenarios—from the smart meter gateway through the cellular network to the meter operator’s systems.

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.

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.
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.
Digital control meets relays: Weidmüller and PPC launch new solution for control rollout with EEBUS relay converter
At E-world, Weidmüller and PPC are demonstrating the EEBUS Relay Converter (ERC), a solution for control in accordance with Section 14a of the German Energy Industry Act (EnWG) and Section 9 of the German Renewable Energy Sources Act (EEG) at the interface between EEBUS digital and relay analogue. The jointly developed product translates digital EEBUS control signals into analogue relay switching commands. This means that even non-digital systems can be controlled by an SMGWplus in accordance with the requirements of Section 14a EnWG and Section 9 EEG.
