New software to help manage Iceland’s EV charging
ON Power, an Icelandic clean energy supplier and charging service provider, is partnering with Etrel, a subsidiary of Landis+Gyr, on expanded EV charging management.
The two will be cooperating on scaling On Power’s EV charging service in Iceland with the help of the charge point management system OCEAN.
The OCEAN software is a scalable EV charge point and energy management platform that provides monitoring and management of residential, business and public charging locations from a cloud-based tool.
The system is hoped to enable ON Power to transfer its existing operations and expand with the market needs, regardless of implemented charging hardware or location.

“Iceland has the second largest share of newly registered EVs in Europe, which makes a rapid and stable roll out of EV charging infrastructure of paramount importance,” said Hrafn Leó Guðjónsson, product manager at ON Power.
“Ensuring the scalability of the system with technology that allows us to keep pace with the demands of the market was key in our decision to use Etrel OCEAN.
ON Power launched its EV charging business in 2014, becoming one of the first EV charge point operators and e-mobility service providers in the country.
EV registrations in Iceland exceeded 60% of total new car registrations in 2022 and the Icelandic company turned to the market in search of a new charging infrastructure management solution that would allow them to grow with the market.
In the second phase of the rollout, ON Power will leverage OCEAN’s Application Programming Interface (API) database, which will aim to enable integration with ON Power’s Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) and Client Relationship Management (CRM) systems.
