- Siemens commissioned a study of 100 decision makers from the US and Canadian utility industry to understand how they are adapting to the surge in distributed energy resources (DERs)
- Findings indicate that limited visibility and understanding of DER behavior creates operational challenges and impacts grid performance
- Solutions such as distributed energy resource management systems (DERMS) exist, but data shows adoption to be slow
Siemens has released key insights into
how electric utilities in the United States and Canada are managing the rapid
adoption of behind the meter distributed energy resources (DERs) in its new
report “Seeing behind the meter: How electric utilities are adapting to the
surge in distributed energy resources.”

- With the RomeFlex project, Areti and Siemens will build on the experience gained from the EU Platone project
Siemens and Roman DSO, Areti, have announced their collaboration on the
RomeFlex project, which starting today will test the ability to manage congestion and
voltage volatility across the stressed power grids of Italy's capital city.
First call for 70 trains from the 2023
framework agreement
Order worth more than €800 million
Consistent development of the Mireo
platform
Austrian Federal Railways (ÖBB) has ordered the first 70
trains from the framework agreement won by Siemens Mobility at the end of
summer 2023. The trains will be delivered in three different versions from late
2027 onwards. The trains are a further development of the in Europe successfully
established and proven Mireo electric multiple-units. Designed to operate at
speeds up to 160 km/h, the Mireos offer numerous amenities for passengers,
including air conditioning, WiFi service, barrier-free access, electrical plugs,
racks for skis and snowboards, capacity for buggies and wheelchairs near the
doors as well as space for bicycles. The cars will be wider than on previous
Mireos trains to further enhance the passenger experience of ÖBB customers.
And, for the first time, Siemens Mobility is designing the new trains with
inner bearing bogies as a single car concept.
