Siemens Energy acquires Camlin Group to bolster grid integration

Siemens Energy is acquiring Camlin Group, a specialist in grid monitoring and power quality technology, according to Recharge News and Renews.biz. No deal value was disclosed in the available reporting. The acquisition is framed around helping grids absorb increasing wind and solar capacity, a direct response to growing integration pressure across European bidding zones.

The Camlin deal lands as interconnector dynamics are shifting market outcomes at the zone level. pv magazine reports that cross-border flows are reshaping UK electricity prices, with Britain increasingly acting as a sink for continental solar surplus (a structural pattern driven by interconnector capacity rather than domestic generation). That dynamic has direct implications for GB capture prices on sunny days.

On the infrastructure build side, Terna has signed a Memorandum of Understanding with Greek TSO IPTO for GRITA 2, a second Italy–Greece subsea interconnector. Terna separately flagged approximately €800 million in new Italian grid infrastructure targeted to come online by 2025. Both projects address chronic north-south and Italy–southeast Europe congestion.
