Relevance of smart energy IoT solutions
The energy sector is undergoing a rapid digital transformation driven by regulatory requests and the need for sustainable infrastructure. The demand for secure and scalable IoT solutions has never been more pressing in order to enable real-time monitoring, reporting, and optimization of energy systems.
Regulatory-driven need for IoT-based smart meters to meet sustainability goals
Governments and regulatory bodies worldwide impose strict standards on carbon emissions, energy efficiency, and renewable energy integration. This creates a strong need for energy and utility providers to adopt smart meters to monitor resource consumption, driving efficiency and sustainability, particularly in the fields of electricity, gas, and water. Given that over 1.1 billion smart meters were expected to be deployed globally by the end of 2024, energy providers are increasingly relying on connected smart energy solutions to enhance grid stability and operational efficiency. This next generation of IoT based smart energy meters is crucial to meeting ambitious sustainability targets.
Compliance with data privacy standards
Stringent data privacy and security regulations require energy providers to carefully select and manage the way their IoT infrastructure is working. As IoT devices generate massive amounts of data, energy companies must ensure that data privacy laws are met and customer and operational data is protected. The SecurityTech experts at G+D ensure that smart IoT solutions are implemented in a secure and protected way and all data stays safe.

The role of iSIM and eSIM technology in the energy sector
iSIM (integrated SIM) and eSIM (embedded SIM) technologies are reshaping the way smart meters and other connected devices function in the energy sector. In order to meet the rising demand, the number of IoT eSIM and iSIM connections is expected to grow by 150% by 2028. They provide the flexibility, security, and efficiency required to support the growing demands of IoT-driven energy solution.
Advanced connectivity beyond traditional methods
Meters using traditional connectivity options like Wi-Fi and Zigbee often fall short due to limited range, lower security, and higher energy consumption. Cellular IoT connectivity with iSIM and eSIM technologies overcome these issues by offering built-in, programmable SIM capabilities. This technology allows energy providers to deploy secure, remotely managed devices that operate seamlessly in diverse environments. The embedded nature of iSIM and eSIM also eliminates the need for a physical SIM card, reducing production costs and material waste.
Efficiency through remote provisioning
A standout advantage of iSIM and eSIM technology is remote provisioning, which enables device management over-the-air. This functionality simplifies logistics, allowing energy providers to update device configurations and firmware without physical access. Such capabilities reduce operational costs and ensure that connected devices stay up-to-date and secure.
By supporting advanced smart metering solutions, iSIM and eSIM enable the energy sector to meet sustainability targets and drive global IoT expansion in smart energy.
