The Unified Research and Engineering Center NEC.TECH (part of the NEC Group) has summarized its results for 2025. The company’s solutions are applied in power engineering instrumentation, housing and utilities, and other sectors of the economy.
In 2025, prototype smart electricity meters were developed both in split configuration and in standard cabinet design to meet the requirements of the new PJSC Rosseti corporate standard. Super-compact meters were also developed for energy retail companies — guaranteed suppliers of PJSC Inter RAO.
At the Microelectronics 2025 exhibition, NEC.TECH presented a new smart meter with an integrated power quality monitoring system compliant with GOST 33073-2014. The solution was developed for the NARTIS plant and has no equivalent on the Russian market in terms of functionality-to-cost ratio.
The company’s specialists carried out extensive work to enhance the cybersecurity and protection of electricity meters, data collection and transmission devices (DCTD), as well as the ZigBee wireless data network. New SPODES protocol requirements were implemented in accordance with PJSC Rosseti standards.
The company’s design center completed semiconductor packaging operations in Russia: pilot batches were produced in packages by NIET and GS Nanotech; incoming inspection devices were developed; packaging parameters were coordinated with JSC Mikron; and a pilot batch is scheduled for 2026. As a result of this work, a technological partner will be selected to perform semiconductor packaging in Russia, thereby increasing the localization level of the electronic component base. In 2025, the Mikron fabrication facility began manufacturing a fully domestic specialized ADC microchip for metering devices developed by the NEC.TECH Design Center.
Based on 2025 results, 56 NEC.TECH IT-solutions were included in the Ministry of Industry and Trade’s Register of Russian Software. Two patents were obtained: one for an innovative relay protection and automation invention, and another for an electronic device enclosure. The entire line of water and gas meters was also added to the Ministry’s Register.
Alongside the expansion of its product portfolio, NEC.TECH expanded its geographic footprint in 2025 with the opening of its fifth division in Russia — a development center in Nizhny Novgorod. Particular attention was paid to team development, including the implementation of a comprehensive package of social programs for employees (meal subsidies, sports compensation, and voluntary health insurance).

In 2025, the company evolved into the Unified Research and Engineering Center of the NEC Group and expanded its project portfolio. In addition to developing smart electricity metering systems, we are working on EV charging infrastructure, developing software for various types of charging stations, as well as smart water and gas meters commissioned by the NARTIS plant. For Moselectroshield, we provide consulting services on the inclusion of products in the Register of Russian-Made Products. In the interests of Unitel Engineering, we are creating a new line of UNIT M-300 and UNIT M-500 relay protection terminals for 220/110 kV substations, and developing new versions of the PKUS TRIUMPH UPASK (devices for transmitting emergency relay protection and automation signals and commands). We are placing significant emphasis on our own developments in the field of electronic component base. All of this lays the foundation for our country’s technological independence
