Infrastructure manager Ancala has created Hausheld Group by merging its Hausheld AG and Solandeo metering businesses, and then acquiring Mako 365 and GreenPocket to form Germany’s largest independent smart metering platform.
GreenPocket is a smart energy software specialist providing data-driven solutions that help utilities and companies optimise energy consumption and accelerate the energy transition.
Mako 365 offers fully automated market communication services for energy suppliers and metering point operators, ensuring regulatory compliance and efficient data exchange in the German energy market.
Financial details of the transaction were not disclosed.
Hausheld AG CEO Bouke Stoffelsma will lead the Hausheld Group as CEO.
Ancala said all of the individual businesses will continue to operate under their existing brands but will be strengthened by the broader smart metering capabilities across the Hausheld Group.
Tim Power, partner, Ancala, said: “The Hausheld Group is a smart metering powerhouse that serves the largest segments in the German market. We are actively working with the group to provide capital to deliver on its substantial order book and unlock new opportunities to create value and build on its market-leading position.
“We’re looking forward to the business achieving its potential through collaboration, the new expertise and broader services it can offer.”
Stoffelsma said: “This is an exciting milestone for Hausheld, Solandeo, Mako 365, GreenPocket and all of our customers and employees. Through uniting our teams, cultures, and expertise, we are creating a stronger group that is best-placed to unlock new opportunities for innovation and enhance our services.”
