Unlocking Access to Smart Meter Data in Spain

Lucas Santos

Founding Engineer

We are excited to announce that starting today, our customers can access smart meter data in Spain through Openvolt's Energy API. Our new Spanish connector allows developers to retrieve half-hourly interval consumption data from both commercial and residential electricity meters. Additionally, our compliant hosted consent flows are now available in multiple languages.

This expansion extends our API's reach to two major European markets. With access to approximately 60 million smart meters out of 200 million across Europe, Openvolt is positioned to transform the energy landscape.

Unlock new possibilities and drive efficiency with Openvolt's expanded capabilities. Start leveraging our unified API for your energy data needs today!
