Contract extension provides energy suppliers with long-term investment security, regulatory compliance and seamless energy data management processes
October 7, 2026 – Hansen Technologies (ASX: HSN), a leading global provider of software and services for the energy, utilities, telecommunications and media industries, and Schleupen SE have extended their strategic partnership in Energy Data Management (EDM) for a further five years. The agreement ensures that energy suppliers across Germany will continue to benefit from long-term access to Hansen EDM, a proven solution for processing large volumes of energy data and reliably meeting regulatory requirements.
Today, more than 80 energy suppliers serving over three million metering points use Hansen EDM through Schleupen. Hansen and Schleupen have been working together since 2003. As part of this long-standing partnership, Hansen EDM has been seamlessly integrated into the Schleupen.CS platform and now forms the foundation of efficient and regulatory-compliant energy data management. By extending the agreement, both companies are providing their customers with long-term continuity and investment security.
”Our long-standing collaboration with Schleupen demonstrates the importance of integrated and future-ready solutions for energy suppliers,” said Carl Lidholm, EVP Energy & Utilities EMEA at Hansen Technologies. “With Hansen EDM, we help organisations reliably address the growing demands of data management, regulatory compliance and process automation. The contract extension not only reflects the success of this partnership but also reinforces our shared commitment to supporting energy suppliers throughout their digital transformation journey with robust and future-proof solutions.”
Hansen EDM as the Foundation of Modern Energy Data Management
Hansen EDM enables energy suppliers to collect, validate, manage and distribute large volumes of metering and energy market data. The solution helps organisations implement regulatory requirements efficiently, maintain high levels of data quality and ensure the reliable operation of business-critical processes.
Through the integration of Hansen EDM into Schleupen.CS, users benefit from seamless end-to-end processes across the entire energy value chain, from metering data and time-series management to settlement, market communication and billing. As the rollout of smart meters continues and data volumes increase further, this level of integration is becoming ever more important.
“For our customers, it is essential that energy data management is seamlessly embedded into integrated business processes. This is precisely where the strength of our partnership lies: system integration, data consistency, and regulatory compliance work hand in hand,” said Dr Volker Kruschinski, Chief Executive Officer of Schleupen SE. “We are therefore delighted to continue this successful collaboration.”
A Long-Term Commitment to the Energy Industry
The extension of the agreement underlines both companies’ shared commitment to supporting the ongoing digital transformation of the energy sector. Hansen Technologies and Schleupen will continue to deliver solutions that help energy suppliers address the increasing demands created by smart metering systems, growing data volumes and evolving regulatory requirements. Their joint objective remains to provide energy suppliers with a powerful, scalable and regulatory-compliant foundation for the processing and effective use of energy market data, both now and in the future.
