Calisen and Octopus Energy bring their joint smart meter expertise to Germany

Octopus Energy and Calisen are working together to bring smart meters to more homes in Germany. In doing so, they will make it easier and faster for customers to upgrade to intelligent metering systems (iMSys).

Calisen, a leading Meter Asset Provider, will finance the smart meters. This means Octopus Energy can install them at no cost to customers. Many other energy providers pass some of these costs onto consumers. But Octopus Energy’s approach ensures a free and easy transition to smart technology.

Merlind Schatz, CFO of Octopus Energy Germany, commented:

“We are delighted to continue our partnership with Calisen here in Germany. Our long and successful collaboration is not only built on trust but also on our shared mission to make the energy transition accessible to everyone. Smart meters are essential in achieving this goal, empowering people to actively participate in the energy transition and benefit from it financially.”

This is the first partnership of its kind in Germany. It’s expanding access to intelligent electricity tariffs and creating a more attractive metering market. 

The collaboration builds on a successful partnership in the UK, where the two companies have already worked together to deploy smart meters. Now, they are bringing that experience to Germany.

Brandon Rennet, CFO of Calisen, added: 

“We are thrilled to expand our partnership with Octopus Energy into Germany. This collaboration is not just a strategic alignment of two innovative companies, but a step forward towards a sustainable future. By enabling faster deployment of smart meters, we’re not only enhancing energy efficiency but also empowering consumers to take control of their energy usage. Together, we’re setting a new standard in the industry, and I am confident that this partnership will yield significant benefits for our customers and for the broader energy market.”
