| 1 | In Germany, the standard smart meter **does not have real-time data transmission capabilities**. | ||
| 2 | |||
| 3 | Therefore, **the smart meter gateway** is essential as it enables secure, real-time communication between smart meters and energy providers. This capability is crucial for companies like Octopus Energy to optimize energy distribution, enhance customer service, and support the integration of renewable energy sources. | ||
| 4 | |||
| 5 | The smart meter gateway is equipped with an HAN-port. | ||
| 6 | |||
| 7 | The Metering Point Operation Act stipulates that every household must be equipped with a modern measuring device or an intelligent measuring system by 2032 at the latest. | ||
