Siemens to provide software solution for smart meter rollout in Lithuania

  • Company to provide EnergyIP meter #data management system for 1.2 million smart meters
  • 10-year contract includes service and maintenance
  • Software to help reduce electricity consumption by up to 6 percent, power loss by more than 10 percent

Siemens Smart Infrastructure and its partners, Sagemcom and Bitė Lietuva, are participating in the rollout of 1.2 million smart meters across #lithuania. #siemens will provide Lithuanian distribution system operator ESO with the EnergyIP meter #data management system as well as service and maintenance for 10 years. Sagemcom is supplying the 1.2 million smart meters and the Siconia head-end system, which reads the #data generated by the meters. Bitė Lietuva, a telecommunications provider in #lithuania, is the partner for communication technology. The new smart meter infrastructure enables ESO to reduce electricity consumption by up to 6 percent, cut power losses in the overall supply network by over 10 percent, and lead to higher energy efficiency in the overall operations.

“To master the increasing complexity of power grids, digitalization is key. Smart meters are one important source of #data. We are very proud that ESO has chosen #siemens and its partners to provide smart meter management infrastructure to #lithuania. This will enable our customer to understand their #data better, forecast and operate the power grid efficiently, and even reduce electricity consumption and power losses significantly,” said Sabine Erlinghagen, CEO of Digital Grid at #siemens Smart Infrastructure. 

EnergyIP meter #data management as a standard system will be supplemented with several security features in order to meet the strict security requirements, including end-to-end encryption. 

As a result, new challenges arising from the large-scale expansion of photovoltaic systems, battery storage systems, charging infrastructure for electromobility, and other grid participants can be solved in a targeted manner. This lays the foundation for future-ready grid operation. 

For #siemens, the contract in #lithuania also includes the integration of the provided solution with ESO legacy systems, such as billing information system, ESO’s customer portal and Enterprise Asset Management system.
