Gridspertise unveils GEn8 at Enlit Europe 2026, a new family of smart meters supporting grid digitalization
The GEn8 range combines smart metering with advanced monitoring capabilities, enabling more efficient and intelligent management of electricity distribution networks.
At Enlit Europe 2026, Gridspertise Group will also showcase its latest grid digitalization solutions, including Smart Grid Manager software and the Quantum Edge device (QEd), which has reached 2,000 installations in Italy.
Gridspertise, a technology group providing intelligent solutions for grid modernization, today announces the launch of GEn8, a new family of smart meters designed to address the diverse needs of electricity distribution companies.
Developed with European engineering expertise, GEn8 covers residential and industrial metering applications, with flexible configurations tailored to different operational and market requirements and designed to support interoperability across utility ecosystems. The new family is being officially unveiled at Enlit Europe 2026, taking place in Vienna until 12 November.
The new GEn8 family combines advanced metering with grid monitoring capabilities, helping utilities address the evolving needs of low-voltage networks, which remain the least visible part of the grid, despite becoming the primary connection point for distributed energy resources, electric vehicles, heat pumps and energy storage systems.
The range includes GEn8-1, which integrates remote reading and management, multi-tariff billing and tamper detection, and GEn8-3, designed for residential and industrial applications, with advanced power quality monitoring and network diagnostics.
GEn8-3 also supports integration with existing systems and future applications related to distributed energy resources, electric mobility and dynamic tariffs. Both devices are designed according to security-by-design principles, with a focus on safe installation, long-term durability and protection against unauthorized access and tampering.
As distributed energy resources and electric mobility transform the electricity system, utilities need more advanced tools to manage increasingly complex networks. GEn8 provides a granular sensing layer for low-voltage grids, combining advanced metering and monitoring with flexibility, security
and interoperability. When integrated with grid-edge technologies and energy data platforms, it enables devices, data and operations to work as one system, supporting more intelligent and effective grid management.
At Enlit Europe 2026, Gridspertise Group, bringing together Gridspertise’s know-how in digital solutions for electricity grids, Aidon’s smart metering capabilities and Energyworx’s cloud-based energy data management technologies, will present its integrated offering for the next phase of grid
modernization.
Structured around three pillars, Monitoring, Automation and Optimization, the Group’s booth will demonstrate how Gridspertise can help utilities address key energy transition challenges.
In the Monitoring area, the Group will showcase its new GEn8 smart metering family, the Aidon 8000 Series and the Smart Grid Manager software, designed to improve operational efficiency and provide granular visibility at the grid edge.
In the Automation area, the focus will be on QEd – Quantum Edge device, which has recently reached 2,000 installations across Italy, bringing real-time processing and control directly to MV/LV substations, enhancing grid observability, automation and resilience.
The Optimization area will focus on Energyworx energy intelligence solutions, which turn data into operational decisions and enable advanced analytics across the energy value chain.
Gridspertise Group will also host an event presenting the new smart metering family and the Group’s latest grid technology developments. The event will take place on 11 November at 5:00 p.m. at Booth A.C80.
