What Enermeter does

Enermeter is a Portuguese technology company headquartered in Braga, founded in 2001 by CEO Manuel Machado, that develops and distributes smart metering solutions for water, gas, and electricity utilities as well as municipal authorities. Its portfolio spans ultrasonic, volumetric, and turbine water meters; diaphragm, turbine, and rotary piston gas meters; single-phase and three-phase prepaid and AMI-enabled electricity meters; GSM/GPRS data loggers and radio concentrators; and supporting software platforms including IZAR@NET 2, WaterCore, and AVE2. The company is an authorized distributor of Diehl Metering's IZAR product family and the exclusive Portuguese distributor of Technolog's Cello data logger line, with a deployed base of more than 150,000 water meters in telecontrol and over 250,000 Cello devices installed worldwide. The product surface extends into smart cities through the Garbagere waste management platform and Garbasense fill-level probes, while the MIM mobile application applies computer vision to automated meter reading with a reported classification error rate below 0.3%.

Enermeter generates revenue through a combination of hardware sales (smart meters, communication modules, telemetry devices) and recurring or project-based software and smart cities solutions (IZAR@NET 2, WaterCore, AVE2, Garbagere). Pricing is not publicly disclosed and is conducted through a direct commercial sales motion targeting enterprise utilities and municipalities under multi-year contracts. Distribution is anchored by partnerships with Diehl Metering and Technolog, supplemented by direct sales to Portuguese water, gas, and electricity utilities and municipal governments; the company also serves broader EMEA markets, delivering more than 1.5 million electronic smart meters annually across the region.

The company is privately held as Enermeter-Sistemas de Medição Lda, with 11-50 employees and no disclosed external investors or funding rounds. It holds ISO 9001:2015, ISO 14001:2015, and ISO 45001:2023 certifications, has been repeatedly recognized under Portugal's PME Excelência program (2017, 2023, 2024) and Inovadora COTEC status (2023, 2025), and was named Technolog's Distributor of the Year in 2018. CEO Manuel Machado was designated a Business Ambassador of the municipality of Braga, with the Braga Mayor noting that each Enermeter employee generates on average €200,000 in business volume.
