ᐅ Smart Electricity Meters in Berlin – When Do They Become Mandatory?

Hello everyone,

I hope someone here can answer my question.
We are building an extension in Berlin and need a new house connection and electricity meter.
Now we have received different information about which type of meter must be installed.
According to the electrician from our home construction company, we need a remotely readable meter (smart meter).
However, the electrician is from Brandenburg, where apparently different regulations apply.
From my research, I understand that these meters are only mandatory for commercial properties and/or an annual consumption of 6000 kWh or more.
Unfortunately, I can’t find any reliable information anywhere, so I hope that there might be some homeowners from Berlin here who have already gone through this and can help me.
Thank you very much in advance 🙂
