From meters to charging stations, from grid operations to utility partners — all APIs centrally documented and accessible via Self-Service.
// The Challenge
The energy transition, smart metering, and decentralized generation are creating a flood of interfaces — between grid operators, metering operators, generators, and regulators. Without central management, control slips away.
Grid operations uses v2, sales is still on v1, and a utility partner integrates against an outdated spec. No shared state. No changelog. Just tickets.
Metering operators, energy traders, utilities — everyone needs access to different endpoints. Today that runs on Slack, spreadsheets, and goodwill. It doesn't scale.
If you don't know an interface exists, you ask. If you ask, you block someone. If you block, you slow down. Self-Service solves this — if there's a portal.
// Use Cases
Manage all APIs around intelligent metering systems in one place — from meter readings and load profiles to tariff switching. Metering operators and grid operators find the right interface via Self-Service.
APIs for grid control and feed-in management — centrally documented and delivered with role-based access control for the teams that need them daily.

APIs for charging infrastructure, roaming, and billing — centrally documented and accessible via Self-Service for charge point operators and roaming partners.
// Security & Operations
Access control, audit trail, and flexible deployment — for teams that can't compromise on security.
Every team, every partner, every endpoint — role-based permissions with granular configuration. No developer sees more than they should.
Every change, every access, every deploy is logged. Immutable. Traceable. For internal reviews and external audits.
Want to run the platform in your own infrastructure? Self-hosted deployment included — even for isolated network segments.
All data stays in Frankfurt. Full data sovereignty, no detours.
// API Landscape
From meter data to grid control to e-mobility — the API Portal organizes the entire interface landscape of an energy provider.
Meter readings, load profiles, device management, and tariff switching for intelligent metering systems.
Feed-in management, grid status, and switching orders — documented, versioned, and delivered with role-based access.
Customer portal interfaces for contract management, tariff changes, consumption display, and installment adjustments.
Billing processes, tariff calculation, EDIFACT message generation, and receivables management.
Charge point management, charging sessions, roaming integration, and real-time availability for e-mobility infrastructure.
Weather forecasts, generation predictions for wind and solar, and load forecasts for grid planning.
“With the API Portal, we've taken collaboration between grid operations, metering, sales, and 30+ utility partners to the next level. API onboarding now takes hours instead of weeks.”
// Architecture
The API Portal integrates with existing energy provider systems — from ERP and billing systems to IoT platforms. CI/CD pipelines sync API specs automatically on every release.
