Overview
Solandeo GmbH owns and operates smart-meter infrastructure in Germany, providing metering point operations, remote control capabilities, and energy forecasting services to industrial customers and renewable energy providers. The company manufactures and maintains thousands of installed smart meters and manages the data they generate, enabling efficient integration of renewable energy into the power grid. Its approach centers on owning the meter network and offering data and management services that support grid stability and energy planning. Unlike many competitors that may focus on software or services for a single client, Solandeo acts as an independent metering operator with a large, nationwide portfolio of meters, prioritizing reliable data, remote control, and forecasting. The firm’s goal is to facilitate the smooth operation of renewable energy sources within the German grid by delivering accurate metering, control capabilities, and forecasting to its clients.
