Wipro, Saudi's National Grid ink deal to boost operational efficiencies

Wipro signs a multi-year agreement with Saudi National Grid SA to implement a smart meter data management system, improving grid stability and operational efficiencies

Wipro has signed a multi-year deal with Saudi electric company, National Grid SA, to implement a smart meter data management (MDM) system for the transmission network. The deal aims to modernize the company's meter data platform, enhance operational efficiencies, and better manage risks.

 

"We are excited to build a long-standing relationship with National Grid SA and are dedicated to assisting them in navigating the evolving energy landscape,” said Vinay Firake, CEO – Asia Pacific, India, Middle East & Africa (APMEA), at Wipro.

 

Wipro will design, develop, implement, and support the infrastructure and smart applications for the new MDM system. Through continuous monitoring, the system will improve grid stability by providing real-time data on power flow, voltage, and equipment data. 

 

 

Wipro will also enable National Grid SA to improve its grid planning through intelligent forecasting and reporting. The intelligent integrations will support proactive maintenance, faster fault identification, and enhance visibility of energy usage patterns. This will allow National Grid SA to optimize its power dispatch, reduce operational costs, and minimize outages.
