Enabling the Energy Transition Together
Energy generation, distribution, storage and consumption – the energy transition requires the interaction of all the players. This is why WAGO has been a reliable partner to the energy industry for many years – for municipal utilities, system operators, system integrators, station builders and industrial customers alike.
Technically and technologically, WAGO is represented in many different areas of the energy market with automation technology, interface electronics and connection technology. In addition, our Smart Grid symposium promotes idea sharing among colleagues – exploiting practical experience for practical applications. Furthermore, with our WAGO Solution Provider Program, we bring together project-specific clients and implementation experts.
This is how we can enable the energy transition together!

Telecontrol technology (RTU)
Make the energy transition possible – with solutions from WAGO!
Energy is increasingly generated in a regenerative and decentralized way – and it fluctuates. In order to prevent blackouts and ensure security of supply, the individual participants in the energy system must be intelligently connected with one another. This is where WAGO's solutions come in.
The WAGO Grid Gateway Application
The controller application now offers operators of power distribution grids an economical solution to help advance the digitization of new and existing substations. It allows better network status assessments and efficient grid expansion – with the highest level of cybersecurity.
Telecontrol Technology Connection for Customer Transfer Stations
Easy connection of decentralized generation systems, storage systems and end customers – to help connect customer systems to the e.on, Westnetz, EnBW and EWE medium-voltage grids via telecontrol technology, WAGO provides communication libraries for download at no cost – according to the specific technical connection rules. Or perhaps a complete control cabinet – including software parameterization?
Power plant controllers help power plants achieve grid-compatible feed-in management at the grid connection point (GCP).
WAGO Power Plant Control allows plant operators and system integrators to meet the requirements for these controllers that are set on the grid side – flexibly and reliably. The solution is certified per VDE-AR-N 4110 and 4120.
RTU for Telecontrol Technology
For Standards and Extremes
Robust and highly tolerant: Whether temperature fluctuations, vibrations, shocks or electromagnetic interference – retrofit telecontrol technology according to your needs and requirements. The WAGO 750 Series PLC – ready for standard applications or extreme uses.

Discover our WAGO customer magazine for the energy industry. In it, you’ll find a compact collection of topics, application reports and customer testimonials, as well as information on our solutions, services and products for the energy industry of tomorrow. The current issue covers topics including power plant controllers, “Redispatch 2.0,” telecontrol connection of customer transfer stations, digitization of distribution substations, e-mobility in public transport and demand-driven night identification of wind turbines.
Energy suppliers need to change the way they think. Instead of merely selling green energy, they also need to organize and market the flexibility that is required for maintaining stability on the electrical grid. This means that the energy system needs to be controllable from production to consumption using intelligent communication networks. WAGO supports digitizing the energy sector and design of smart grids with state-of-the-art control and measurement technology, along with software solutions that enable a simple and secure connection to the cloud.
As the proportion of renewable energy sources increases, decentralized suppliers and substations must be consistently monitored. This data must be archived, analyzed and transmitted securely. WAGO's automation systems provide the solution: They are compact, support many interfaces and fieldbus protocols and offer a high level of availability – even in bitter cold or high heat. Thanks to the intrinsically safe Ex i modules for the modular WAGO-I/O-SYSTEM, usage in hazardous areas, like biogas plants, is no problem.
In virtual power plants, decentralized generators like wind turbines, storage facilities and controllable loads become a flexible (and adjustable) backup. Intelligently synchronizing these reduces loads on the power grid. WAGO's telecontrollers make it easier to combine them: They meet the requirements of the VHPready 4.0 communication standard, ensuring trouble-free connection of systems to the virtual power plant. VHPready functions like a translator so that control centers and systems understand one another.
The grids, including their automation and telecontrol technology, are due for modernization. WAGO's controllers provide important grid data, allowing grid operators to intervene with automated control as needed. In the field of gas and heat supply as well, WAGO's technology grants control and access to all data within the systems connected to the grids from any connected location. With the special security concept of the PFC200 Controller, WAGO follows all relevant cybersecurity guidelines.
Storage systems compensate for fluctuating green electrical generation, reducing load on the power grid. WAGO’s telecontrol technology is at the heart of storage systems. It records all measured values, such as the feed-in data of solar plants or wind turbines, and enables monitoring and customer-specific control of the storage. For example, if the mains frequency increases due to high feed-in from renewables, the battery, power-to-heat or power-to-gas plant receives the order to draw excess current from the grid.
