When being enforced in August 2016, the digital law regarding the alternative energy sector including the metering operation law has significantly increased the complexity in the energy and utility industry. With this law and the following resolutions of the Federal Network Agency regarding the new market rules (GPKE, WiM, MaBiS, MPES) the strategic and operative demands to the energy market players strongly increased inducing a complete change in metering technology.

Much higher security standards for the measuring, metering and communication systems to be implemented, certification and encoding requirements, complex change processes, time limits to fullfill the legal requirements to Federal Network Agency and the compliance with new information security standards are the most significant challenges to network and meter operators.
