Equips Norwegian grid operator Norgesnett with medium-voltage switchgear
and compact substations for sustainable, reliable, and affordable transformation
of national grid
- Norgesnett adopts SF6-free switchgear, saving approximately 1,200 tonnes
of CO2 compared to SF6-gas switchgear over product lifetime
- Siemens’ switchgear utilizes climate-neutral insulating medium “Clean
Air” consisting exclusively of components of ambient air, propelling Norgesnett
toward its sustainability goals
Siemens Smart
Infrastructure has signed a six-year framework agreement with Norgesnett to deliver
SF6 gas-free switchgear in the form of the 8DJH 24 – blue GIS switchgear,

- Gridscale X LV Management software empowers DSOs to take a holistic approach to unlocking grid flexibility at scale – from planning to operations
- Software acts as an intelligent “co-pilot”, providing step-by-step guidance to prevent low voltage grid instability, reducing outages by 30%
- Enables grid operators to operate the grid closer to its limits and digitalize faster and more efficiently
- Gridscale X LV Management is part of the Siemens Xcelerator portfolio
Today, Siemens unveils its latest Gridscale X offering, LV Management, at Eurelectric’s Power Summit. Embedded with crucial capabilities to actively control the low voltage grid, this represents the first step towards unlocking grid flexibility at scale across planning and operations. With additional insights and transparency over what is happening on the low voltage grid, operators can use the software as a “co-pilot,” helping them to deal with the increasing complexity and challenges related to low voltage grids.
- Workstation provides with software-defined automation unprecedented control over factory automation and security
