That was E-world 2026
E-World is and remains one of the most important exchange platforms for our industry – and this year was no exception.

The launch of our EEBUS Relais Converter in collaboration with Weidmüller.
Recap of 2025
2025 – a year of partnerships and innovations! The rollout of smart metering systems is in full swing, and the control rollout, driven by Section 14a of the German Energy Industry Act (EnWG) and Section 9 of the Renewable Energy Sources Act (EEG), is gaining significant momentum. In this context, the interoperability of our solutions with those of our partners in the market is a prerequisite. 2025 is therefore all about partnership and cooperation: around 35 partners have joined our ‘PPC connect: Interoperability in practice’ initiative this year.
Flexible bandplans for the powerline rollout: the key to combining long range with high data volumes
A successful, fast and cost-efficient BPL expansion must be able to meet both challenges – bridging even greater distances in the connection as quickly as possible while still enabling data rates in the Mbit/s range for modern encryption. Nessum is the key here.
Pfalzwerke Netz AG and PPC subsidiary Coms4Grid successfully launch broadband powerline rollout

Controllable devices in the home must be interoperable, BSI mandates
The German Technical Standards Authority (BSI) wants to accelerate interoperability in IoT PPC has been chosen for a fast track development program, thanks to its leadership in data communications.
Long-time partners formalize cooperation: PPC joins EEBus e.V.
After a long successful cooperation in many projects, PPC is now also formally a member of EEBus e.V. The symbiosis between PPC's product portfolio and EEBUS as a protocol for applications upstream and downstream of the grid connection is thus further strengthened.
