Project launch IKTres: Resilient Communication for Smart Distribution Networks
Through the IKTres innovation project, launched in May, PPC is working with partners from the research and energy sectors to develop preventive and corrective measures to make information and communication technology (ICT) in smart distribution grids more resilient to disruptions and outages. The focus is on the infrastructure of smart metering systems (iMSys), the network management system (NMS), and the digital grid twin.
Reaching the Goal Faster: How BPL and Coms4Grid Are Driving the Rollout in Rhineland-Palatinate
The expansion of broadband powerline (BPL) in Rhineland-Palatinate is clearly gaining momentum. In collaboration with Coms4Grid, projects are currently being implemented in several network areas that demonstrate how the iMSys rollout can be carried out reliably.
The EEBUS Ship Pairing Service Explained Simply
To make getting started easier, we’ve created a concise video that clearly explains how the EEBUS Ship Pairing Service works. The focus is on how the commissioning and pairing of devices can be significantly simplified in the future—a key component for scaling the control rollout.
Heating Controls via the Smart Meter Gateway: How Two Infrastructures Come Together
TAF 10 is the function of the smart meter gateway that goes far beyond mere billing and makes the gateway the central component for transparency in the smart grid. It turns the smart meter gateway into a standardized sensor in the distribution network—not just in specific areas, but across the board.

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.
