Metering operations with acteno

We are your independent metering operator – independent, Europe-wide, all grids, all voltage levels, all facilities.

Whether you manage a single site with one delivery point or several hundred locations – with acteno you gain the transparency you need over your energy.

We provide metering operations for electricity covering load profile meters, iMSys as 3-point, eHZ, DIN-rail or 19-inch rack installation. We use bidirectional meters and record both active and reactive energy across quadrants I-IV.

Energy productivity and cost and consumption control only work when metering data is captured continuously and at high resolution. We take care of your complete solution – from concept and planning to coordination, installation and operation.

Switching to acteno brings clear advantages for your company – in particular for operators of renewable energy plants.

Our services

The opening of the metering sector for electricity and gas in 2011 brought a full liberalisation of metering operations and metering. For customers (commercial, private, public) this means the free choice of a metering operator and metering service provider. acteno energy is a metering operator under §3 MsbG. acteno energy provides independent metering operations for industrial and commercial customers.

The Metering Operations Act (MsbG), which came into force on 2 September 2016, plays a decisive role in consolidating the rules for metering and metering operations. The Act also lays the foundations for the digitalisation of the metering sector by defining technical standards, financing models and data transmission for digital metering systems.

acteno is a competitive metering operator active nationwide, providing metering operations in particular for commerce, industry, the real estate sector and operators of renewable energy plants.

Frequently asked questions about metering operations

Here you will find answers to the most important questions about metering operations and switching your metering operator.

What is a metering operator?+
A metering operator (MSB) is a company responsible for the installation, operation and maintenance of metering systems (electricity, gas and water meters). It ensures that energy consumption and generation are correctly recorded and transmitted to the relevant market participants. Since the liberalisation of the metering sector, customers can freely choose their metering operator.
What is the difference between a regulated and competitive metering operator?+
The regulated metering operator (gMSB) is usually the local grid operator, which automatically handles metering operations. A competitive metering operator (wMSB) like acteno energy is an independent provider that customers can actively choose. The advantage: independence from the grid operator, access to real-time energy data, nationwide support and implementation of individual metering concepts.
How do I switch my metering operator?+
Switching to a competitive metering operator is straightforward. You commission acteno energy, and we handle the entire process: from coordination with the previous metering operator and the grid operator through planning to the installation of the new metering technology. The switch is free of charge for you as a customer, as regulated by the Metering Operations Act (MsbG).
What are the advantages of an independent metering operator?+
An independent metering operator offers full transparency over your energy data, independent from grid operators and suppliers. You receive a central contact for all locations and voltage levels, real-time access to your metering data, open interfaces (API, MSCONS, AS4) and the ability to implement simple and complex metering concepts.
At which voltage levels does acteno offer metering operations?+
acteno energy provides metering operations at all voltage levels: low voltage (400V, 690V), medium voltage, high voltage and extra-high voltage. We use both transformer and direct measurements and cover all common metering systems – from load profile meters (rLM) to smart metering systems (iMSys/Smart Meter) to individual custom solutions.
What does switching the metering operator cost?+
Switching the metering operator is regulated under the Metering Operations Act (MsbG). acteno energy handles planning, coordination and installation. The costs for metering operations depend on the type and scope of the metering points. Contact us for an individual offer – we are happy to advise you transparently.
