Hausheld, Mönchengladbach (Germany)

Development of smart metering solutions for electricity networks

Profile

Hausheld offers measurement and control systems for the digitalisation of the energy turnaround and highly secure IT solutions for smart cities. Hausheld is one of the few companies certified for this by the German Federal Office for Information Security (BSI). Hausheld is particularly well known in the industry for the price-optimised full rollout of intelligent electricity meters (smart meters) for entire neighborhoods and cities, while ensuring the highest data protection standards. The legal starting signal for the conversion to smart meters was given in 2020. Hausheld has brought its solution to market maturity over the last few years in order to accompany this conversion from the very beginning.

The digital transformation of the energy industry is a central component of the energy turnaround. An important factor in this process is the conversion to intelligent electricity meters. Around 50 million electricity meters will have to be replaced in Germany in the coming years. In the future, electricity producers and consumers will be linked together via an intelligent network and will communicate digitally. One of the goals must be to create the basis for sustainably safe smart cities: from e-mobility to the control of night storage heaters and street lighting.
