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.
Digital controllability check: SISSY consortium demonstrates a new approach to verifying controllability
With its digital control check based on intelligent metering systems (iMSys), the SISSY consortium is demonstrating a new, scalable method for verifying the controllability of generation plants. This approach makes it possible to verify basic controllability efficiently, in a manner that benefits the grid, and without the need for physical intervention or test-based curtailment of renewable generation capacity.
PPC Kundentreffen 2026: Award for successful SMGWplus EEBUS SHIP pairing interoperability tests
The energy management systems from Solar Manager and TQ-Systems have been successfully validated for interoperability with the SMGWplus from PPC. Both partners support the new and secure EEBUS SHIP Pairing and have demonstrated successful interoperability through extensive testing. In recognition of this successful implementation, Solar Manager and TQ-Systems were presented with the PPC connect Award at the PPC Kundentreffen 2026.
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.

Room for big ideas: PPC builds new test and demo center
Spanning more than 100 m², the center provides a modern environment for development and live demonstrations of the intelligent metering system, CLS components, communication technologies, and the Network Management System (NMS). With more than 1,000 test stations, the entire spectrum from interoperability to development support can be covered.

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.
