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.
1.2 million SMGWs in the PPC network management system – a significant milestone for secure communication
Over 1.2 million smart meter gateways (SMGWs) have now been successfully integrated into our network management system – and the trend is rising! How do the smart meter gateways find their way onto the platform? Through the NMS Connector app. This enables on-site technicians to assess the success of the installation and the NMS integration at a glance and document it directly in the app.
Robotron and PPC demonstrate interoperability between SMGWplus and GWA
Robotron Datenbank-Software GmbH, Solar Manager and PPC have successfully demonstrated a solution for the digital control of plants. This enables grid operators and other market participants to implement control commands for limiting generation and consumption. The implementation was carried out using existing systems and devices available today, which shows that this complete solution is already available to the broader market.
That was the PPC customer meeting 2025!
This year's PPC customer meeting was once again a huge success - with exciting presentations, productive dialogue and over 250 participants from the energy industry. This time, three tracks were used to present, evaluate and discuss how we can drive forward the digitalisation of the energy system together. The recap of the Customer Meeting 2025 is now online - including a picture gallery, presentations and impressions of two intensive days in Mannheim. Many thanks to all guests, speakers and partners for their input!

Tenant electricity on the rise – scalability thanks to standards, 1:n and sector bundling
The upward trend is clear. With each measurement concept adopted, both project planners and grid operators are learning how to get tenant electricity to end users more quickly. At the same time, switching processes are becoming more standardised with simplifications such as the AHB Strom2.1 from the Federal Network Agency. Innovations such as the Solar Peak Act also address the requirements for grid-friendly integration, thus setting the necessary course for tenant and neighbourhood electricity for the coming years.
