Calisen establishes new business in Germany to accelerate roll out of critical smart meter infrastructure Investment backs roll out of 250,000 smart meters - free of charge for consumers MANCHESTER, England, Nov. 11, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Calisen Group, the UK's largest smart meter provider, has today announced the launch of its first international operation in Germany with the appointment of new Managing Director Claus Fest and a first-of-its-kind partnership to accelerate the roll out of intelligent metering systems with Energy Metering Germany (EMG).  EMG is a competitive Meter Point Operator (MPO) set up by Octopus Group. The deal represents a major milestone in the roll out of smart meters – critical infrastructure for the energy transition in Germany.

Claus Fest joins from EnBW, one of Germany's largest energy suppliers, where he was Head of Energy Business and Portfolio Management, responsible for smart energy, data and energy provision for businesses. Claus joins Calisen to support on the new partnership with Energy Metering and growing smart meter uptake in Germany more broadly.

Under the new and pioneering Meter Services Agreement (MSA) with Energy Metering, Calisen is positioned to deploy up to €100 million in smart metering assets nationwide. This agreement lays the foundation for large-scale investment in intelligent metering systems (IMSys), a vital enabler of Germany's renewable integration, grid flexibility, and digital energy transformation.

The announcement follows the successful conclusion of a pilot scheme launched by Calisen and EMG in February 2025 under which it has installed around 10,000 smart meters to date.  Today's investment sets a new standard for cooperation between Meter Point Operators ("MPOs") and Meter Asset Providers ("MAPs"). The MSA framework is expected to serve as a blueprint for future agreements as the German market continues to evolve.
