Siemens drives digital transformation of Maltese grid infrastructure for improved reliability
Siemens drives digital transformation of Maltese grid infrastructure for improved reliability
Enemalta, the leading energy services provider in the Maltese
Islands, is responsible for distribution of electricity and development of the
national distribution grid. Malta has recently faced significant electricity
challenges driven by extreme weather. In 2023, a major heatwave brought
record-high temperatures, leading to increased electricity demand for air
conditioning, and widespread power outages across the country. Enemalta
mobilized resources to restore power, achieving stability after several intensive
days of repairs. Recognizing that physical network reinforcements alone would
not suffice, Enemalta identified the necessity for a comprehensive software
solution to enhance operational and planning capabilities.
“Grid congestion has become a real threat to the energy
transition. That’s why we are proud to be working with Enemalta to address
their key operational challenges, moving from reactive maintenance to
predictive management. With Gridscale X, Enemalta will be able to take the next
steps towards improved grid reliability and service for people in Malta.
Together, we are advancing the standards for digital transformation in the
energy sector,” said Sabine Erlinghagen, CEO of Siemens Grid Software.
“Malta is ramping up second generation smart meter coverage.
With additional data unlocked, it will be possible to manage grids on a new
dimension. We are delighted to be partnering with Siemens to modernize the grid
of Malta with next-generation software and improve reliability for our
customers. With Siemens’ expertise and technology, we can enhance the network’s
digital capabilities, and lay the groundwork for future innovations, including
flexibility management,” added Ryan Fava, Executive Chairman of Enemalta.
About Gridscale X
Gridscale X is a platform that paves the way for autonomous
grid management. It is part of Siemens Xcelerator, an open digital business
platform that enables customers to accelerate their digital transformation
easier, faster, and at scale. Siemens’ Gridscale X platform offers powerful
capabilities designed to bring transparency into the low-voltage network. By
utilizing data from smart meters, the solution proactively detects outages,
visualizes grid congestion, and delivers actionable insights through advanced
analytics.
The pilot phase at Enemalta is expected to begin in November
2024, followed by a longer rollout over the next three years, ultimately
leading to full grid modernization.
