en.Wedoany.com Reported - Siemens Energy is planning to acquire Camlin Group, a software company specializing in grid monitoring, asset digitization, and analytics, aiming to ensure efficient integration of renewable energy into global power grids.
A spokesperson for Siemens Energy told industry media pv magazine that grid bottlenecks are one of the key obstacles to the overall expansion of renewable energy, and therefore strengthening grid capacity will directly promote further deployment of wind and solar power. The spokesperson noted that Camlin Group, with its advanced sensor-based transformer monitoring technology, holds significant value for wind and solar photovoltaic power plants, as transformers are core assets connecting power generation to the grid. Enhanced real-time monitoring capabilities enable predictive maintenance, reduce unplanned downtime, and ultimately improve the reliability and availability of power systems. As more variable renewable energy is integrated into the system, this digital and proactive grid management approach will become increasingly critical.
In September 2025, Siemens Energy invested approximately 220 million euros to expand its transformer factory in Nuremberg, Germany. At that time, the company explained that this move was in response to the continuously growing demand for transformers driven by grid stabilization and the integration of solar and wind power infrastructure. Following this acquisition, the two companies will jointly support utilities in managing complex power flows within the grid. A spokesperson for Camlin Group told pv magazine that the company has established partnerships with multiple international renewable energy enterprises, covering projects in solar, onshore and offshore wind power, and battery energy storage, aiming to enhance the overall performance of these asset portfolios. The technology can detect emerging risks earlier and support large-scale predictive and condition-based maintenance, which is crucial for maximizing the availability of renewable energy assets and grid hosting capacity. The Camlin Group representative added that, with Siemens Energy's investment and influence, the company can accelerate its efforts to help utilities and network operators enhance system resilience, reduce unplanned outages, and integrate larger volumes of renewable energy with greater confidence.
Headquartered in Lisburn, Belfast, Northern Ireland, the company operates across the UK, Europe, North America, Australia, and Asia. The transaction is subject to full regulatory approval and is expected to be completed by the end of this year. Siemens Energy plans to acquire full ownership of Camlin Group, but its management will remain independently operated. Financial details of the transaction were not disclosed.
