Landis+Gyr Strengthens EMEA Flexibility Portfolio with LTE-Based Load Switching Device
Cham, Switzerland, 22 May 2025 – Landis+Gyr (SIX:LAND), a global leader in integrated energy management solutions, announced the launch of L440 Control Switch, a new Grid Edge intelligent device designed to expand real-time load management capabilities and meet the growing demand for flexibility services across the EMEA region.
The L440 broadens Landis+Gyr’s established load control portfolio, complementing the proven L540 G3-PLC Control Switch. With LTE communication based on IoT standards, energy providers can now select the technology best suited to their network conditions, while maintaining a consistent platform for scalable, distributed load control.
Demand-side flexibility is becoming increasingly important across Europe and the Middle East, as energy systems adapt to decentralisation, higher share of renewables and electrification. Grid Operators are looking for secure, scalable solutions that support dynamic load adjustment without major infrastructure upgrades.
Unlike traditional ripple control, which offers limited selectivity and no real-time feedback, Landis+Gyr Load Switches coupled with the GridFlex Control® platform provide a more precise and verifiable approach to load management. Operators can predefine which loads to control and target specific customer groups under defined programs. They also receive confirmation that switching commands have been successfully executed – ensuring reliable, measurable flexibility. This includes not only traditional load shedding but also use cases such as solar curtailment, where distributed generation can be selectively reduced in real time to support grid stability.
“Our customers are navigating the increasing complexity of decentralised energy systems,” said Rob Evans, EVP EMEA at Landis+Gyr. “This launch is part of our ongoing investment in intelligent grid solutions that help them manage that complexity, delivering resilience, flexibility and control at scale.”
“The launch of the L440 reinforces our commitment to supporting the energy transition with solutions that combine operational resilience with flexibility and scalability,” said Jürg Haas, Senior Product Manager, Landis+Gyr. “As decentralised grids evolve, energy providers need smart, secure devices that bring reliable control to the network edge. With the L440, we now offer flexible communication options without compromising functionality or integration.”
The device is now available for deployment across EMEA markets.
