EYKON Introduces the E860 DRM: Revolutionizing Digital Revenue Metering

EYKON AG, a leader in utility infrastructure technology, has unveiled its latest innovation in revenue metering - the E860 DRM. This digital revenue meter is specifically designed for high and medium-voltage digital substations, and it addresses a significant gap in the utility sector's transition to digital architecture.

As utilities increasingly migrate their substation operations, including protection and automation, to digital frameworks, the existing revenue metering solutions have often remained traditional and analogue. The E860 DRM aims to bridge this gap by integrating revenue metering into the digital substation ecosystem.

First Showcase at ENLIT Europe 2026

The E860 DRM will make its debut at the ENLIT Europe 2026 conference in Vienna, where EYKON will collaborate with Siemens Energy. This partnership will provide a live demonstration of the digital revenue metering capabilities, showcasing how the E860 DRM can seamlessly integrate with Siemens Energy's cutting-edge low-power instrument transformer technology.

Rostislavas Marcenko, Head of Business Unit Electricity at EYKON, emphasized the importance of this transition, stating, “Utilities should not have to maintain a conventional measurement setup merely because revenue metering has lagged behind the digital advancements seen in other substation operations.” The introduction of the E860 DRM represents a leap forward in ensuring that revenue measurement keeps pace with technological advancements.

Enhanced Connectivity and Measurement Accuracy

The E860 DRM is designed to provide the necessary connectivity for digital substations while maintaining the high measurement accuracy demanded by billing applications. This innovation enables utilities to transition to an IEC 61850-based environment, thus streamlining their operations and enhancing their efficiency.

Dr. Peter Menke, Product Manager of Siemens Energy LPIT portfolio, remarked, “The E860 DRM is the last missing piece of the puzzle to complete the digital substation. It introduces a new metering approach that is compatible with a variety of instrument transformer technologies, ranging from conventional setups to modern low-power solutions.”

Furthermore, EYKON has ensured that the E860 DRM meter would allow for a gradual shift to digital revenue metering within substations. The existing E860 and E860 DRM meters can coexist within the same rack, facilitating a smooth transition for utilities that are modernizing their substations.

EYKON's Legacy in Utility Technology

EYKON, previously known as the Landis+Gyr EMEA business, possesses over 130 years of experience in the utility technology sector. Headquartered in Switzerland, the company operates with a focus on delivering innovative solutions that align with the evolving needs of utility providers in over 75 markets. EYKON supports more than 100 million connected endpoints across the region, combining extensive expertise with rigorous operational insights derived from one of the largest installations in EMEA.

Through its commitment to innovation, EYKON aims to enhance the visibility, decision-making, and overall control that utilities experience, ensuring they can unlock greater value from the infrastructure they already manage.

Conclusion

The introduction of the E860 DRM marks a significant milestone in the digital transformation of utility metering. With its cutting-edge technology and strategic partnerships, EYKON is poised to lead the charge in modernizing how revenue metering is approached within digital substations.
