2026 has demonstrated just how rapidly Nessum is gaining international prominence. Millions of Nessum devices shipped, new applications beyond smart metering, and a growing international ecosystem make it clear: broadband powerline is evolving from a technology for individual markets into a globally deployable communications solution.

After three years of successful collaboration, the energy data-X innovation project has come to an end. Together with its project partners, PPC has worked to develop a secure, sovereign, and decentralized data ecosystem for the energy industry. The focus was on integrating intelligent metering systems (iMSys) as a highly secure communication platform. Successful use cases demonstrate how energy data can optimize processes, harness flexibility, and enable new data-driven business models in the future.

The smart meter rollout is moving forward—but despite relevant regulatory requirements, metering for industrial and commercial customers has so far often taken place in a separate, parallel infrastructure that bypasses the smart metering system. The upcoming iRLMsys solutions are designed to close this very gap.

Once a smart meter gateway has been installed and commissioned, personal data is collected. To protect personal data, reuse has therefore not been possible until now. The “DoDeleteUserData” function, which PPC has now implemented, lays the groundwork for reuse and enables an SMGW that has already been put into operation to be reinstalled at a different location.
