IoT Solutions Ltd., Malta’s leader in Internet of Things (IoT) technologies, has announced the development of an advanced utility metering and analytics platform. This platform is designed to help Maltese and European companies automatically track and report their Scope 2 greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. This is a critical step toward compliance with the upcoming EU Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD), which will take effect in 2026.
Under this new EU directive, companies with more than 50 employees will be legally required to measure and report their carbon footprint alongside financial performance. This makes environmental transparency an integral part of business reporting.
Next-Generation Smart Metering: Empowering Maltese Businesses to Lead in Sustainability
“Most companies still depend on manual readings and fragmented spreadsheets to monitor their energy and water consumption,” explained Reuben Camilleri, Managing Director of IoT Solutions Ltd. “Our mission is to automate this process entirely. We aim to give businesses real-time visibility into their energy use. This eliminates human error, helps them take control of their carbon footprint, and better manages their operations.”
The new Next-Generation Smart Metering solution, currently under development, combines custom-built hardware with AI-powered analytics hosted on IoT Solutions’ proprietary cloud platform. Each modular meter can be powered either by battery or a fixed power source. It is equipped with Cellular connectivity, ensuring reliable communication even in remote or underground locations.
Data from the meters will be transmitted securely to the cloud. There, advanced algorithms and Big Data analytics will identify consumption patterns, detect inefficiencies, and calculate associated carbon emissions. This empowers organizations to reduce waste, save costs, gain key insights about their operational trends and inefficiencies, and meet their ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) reporting obligations seamlessly.
Practical Benefits for Maltese Enterprises
The technology offers immediate benefits to Maltese organizations preparing for ESG and sustainability reporting, such as:
Automated carbon reporting in line with EU directives.
Real-time visibility of energy and water usage across multiple sites.
Utility bill validation and identification of hidden wastage.
Reduced operational costs through targeted energy efficiency and operational efficiency.
Enhanced sustainability credentials for clients, investors, and regulators.
For example, within the M. Demajo Group, IoT Solutions’ parent company, energy consumption data is currently gathered manually across several facilities in Malta and abroad. Once this project is completed, a facility manager will be able to generate complete Scope 2 reports in just a few clicks. This will significantly reduce time, costs, and errors.
A Maltese Innovation with Global Potential
According to Mordor Intelligence, the global smart metering market is set to grow from USD 17.46 billion in 2024 to USD 31.82 billion by 2029. This highlights enormous export potential for IoT Solutions’ technology.
This project also strengthens Malta’s position as a hub for AI-driven sustainability innovation. It aligns with national strategies including the MDIA AI Strategy, National R&I Strategic Plan, and Smart Specialisation Strategy. All of these emphasize sustainable digital transformation.

Driving National Sustainability and Competitiveness
“This project is not just about technology,” continued Mr. Camilleri. “It’s about enabling Malta’s private sector—from manufacturing and hospitality to logistics and construction—to become more competitive, transparent, and environmentally responsible. We’re building a solution that can help companies cut consumption, reduce costs, improve operations, and take measurable action toward net-zero emissions.”
Beyond regulatory compliance, the system can also support energy audits, cost-reduction programs, and corporate social responsibility (CSR) initiatives. It contributes to national sustainability goals by reducing demand on the local electricity grid.
Conclusion: A Path to a Sustainable Future
As we move forward, the importance of sustainability cannot be overstated. The Next-Generation Smart Metering solution by IoT Solutions Ltd. is a significant step toward a greener future. By automating carbon reporting and providing real-time insights, we can help businesses not only comply with regulations but also thrive in a sustainable manner.
The future is bright for Maltese enterprises. With innovative solutions at their fingertips, they can lead the way in sustainability. Together, we can create a more sustainable and responsible business landscape.
