Swiss company Landis+Gyr and San Francisco-based SPAN are collaborating to enhance energy management and grid decarbonization. Their joint effort aims to better utilize current infrastructure to meet growing power needs. Their first product, presented at DistribuTECH in Orlando, allows for flexible control of power at any location, improving infrastructure use.

Landis+Gyr, from Cham, Zug, known for smart metering, and SPAN, focused on home energy management, are working together to support electrification. They aim to help utility services use infrastructure more effectively, manage energy resources flexibly, and keep customers satisfied.

Their partnership introduces a solution that combines energy management with advanced technology. This solution acts as a virtual power plant, connecting homes to the power network with precise metering and control over energy resources.

This innovation is crucial for managing the increased power demand from the electrification of transport and buildings. It represents a step forward in how consumers and utilities can jointly manage energy and reduce grid emissions. Landis+Gyr’s CEO, Werner Lieberherr, believes this collaborative solution will change energy management and contribute to grid decarbonization.
