- EWE NETZ installs fluorine gas-free blue GIS medium-voltage switchgear from Siemens in Brake, Germany
- Investment in climate protection and supply security in the region
- Climate-friendly insulation gas “Clean Air” replaces fluorine gas
Siemens Smart
Infrastructure has supplied EWE NETZ GmbH, which operates highly-efficient power
grids in Germany, with its latest environmentally-friendly switchgear
technology. EWE NETZ has now completed a new medium-voltage switchgear
installation in Brake in the Wesermarsch region of Lower Saxony, which includes
seven fluorine gas-free NXPLUS C 24 circuit-breaker panels from Siemens’ green blue
GIS portfolio. This makes EWE NETZ one of the first grid operators in Germany
to switch to the climate-friendly insulation gas Clean Air for an entire
medium-voltage switchgear installation.

These contracts build on the already well-established relationship Siemens Mobility has with the concessionaire and the São Paulo metropolitan transportation network.
- Transitions to Siemens´ EnergyIP Meter Data Management Software-as-a-Service
- Updates system capabilities while reducing cost of ownership
- Increases staff efficiency by decreasing time spent on routine maintenance
- No-touch customer updates provided virtually with advanced cyber security protection
Silicon
Valley Power, the municipal utility for the City of Santa Clara, Calif., serves
a community of innovation and technology made up of some of the world’s largest
world-class high-tech companies. Serving thousands of municipal customers and
approximately 50 commercial data centers, the utility wanted to upgrade its older
version of EnergyIP Meter Data Management (MDM) solution. To do so it also
sought out solutions that would allow the upgrade without causing service
disruptions, increased installation costs, a steep learning curve for staff,
and cyber security and compliance concerns. Siemens’ EnergyIP MDM
Software-as-a-Service (MDM SaaS) helped address all of the utility’s
requirements. EnergyIP MDM SaaS conforms with Cloud Security
Alliance (CSA) STAR Level One cybersecurity guidelines. This registration
demonstrates Siemens’ commitment to organizational security as a trusted cloud
provider.
Siemens increase its global cybersecurity
offering with the official inauguration of the Critical Infrastructure Defense
Center (CIDC) in Fredericton, New Brunswick, Canada. The center is the first
facility of its kind in the Siemens realm dedicated to Critical Infrastructure
Protection (CIP) focused on Operations Technology (OT). Services provided by
the center will range from advisory to managed and research services, with a
mission to secure the advancement of a decarbonizing digital world. The team of
cyber experts based in Fredericton will support cyber and physical security
needs of Canada as well as projects in the US, Europe and the Middle East.

- The industry-first sustainable charging solution enables quick installation at scale and easy expansion and maintenance to help meet growing demand for EV charging infrastructure
Siemens
Smart Infrastructure in the U.S. today unveiled a new sustainable, EV charging
concept structure designed for electrifying fleets and high demand charging
applications at scale. The new VersiCharge XL concept (UL standard) was created
to electrify new or existing parking lots and building structures quickly and
efficiently by using a modular, scalable design made in partnership with Nexii
Building Solutions using their proprietary, sustainable building material with
low carbon footprint in the U.S. The solution, which resembles a modern-day
fueling station, was developed in late 2021, and then installed in only three
days at Siemens’ research and development hub for Electrical Products and
eMobility solutions in Peachtree Corners, Georgia, USA.
Cooperation on condition-based and predictive maintenance is extended to the end of 2024 and now also includes 130 Vectron locomotives
