2021 was a turbulent year. This year’s almost over, yet there’s still much to be discussed alongside the omnipresent topic of the Covid-19 pandemic, including the topic of smart meter rollouts.

In addition to many other changes, the implementation of MaKo 2022 (Market Communication 2022) has also resulted in the introduction of a new market role: from 1 April 2022, the energy service provider (Energieserviceanbieter, ESA) will expand the range of roles in market communication. In our blog post, we reveal the potential to stimulate competition in metering and thus have a decisive influence on the entire energy sector.
