- More than 3,000 industrial and tertiary
sites connected over IP
- Hundreds of thousands of industrial
objects connected by 2026 to make power networks even smarter and
facilitate energy transition
- Resilient and secure solution will meet
smart grid’s challenges and new uses
Enedis, the leading European energy distributor, has entrusted
Orange Business Services to support its transition toward a more
effective and smarter electricity distribution network. The energy
transition is characterized by the growth of fluctuating and
decentralized energy production (wind and sun) and the rise of new
uses, such as self-consumption and electric vehicle charging. In
this context, equipping the power network with cutting-edge IT and
digital technologies is essential to manage the increasing
complexity of the power system.

A more effective electricity distribution network thanks to
data
Orange Business Services will connect hundreds of thousands of
communicating objects spread across the electricity distribution
network in France, along with over 3,000 industrial sites. This
will enable Enedis to develop energy flow data collection,
real-time surveillance of electrical substations, automated
self-healing in the event of faults and remote management
capacities (maintenance and operation) for the whole network.
These solutions will guarantee the right balance between energy
production and consumption at a global and local scale, which is a
critical challenge with the development of renewable energy.
More resilient and secure networks to guarantee the quality
of service
Orange Business Services’ expertise in integrating and managing
dedicated secure management infrastructure was a critical factor in
the decision made by Enedis. Orange will operate, maintain and
monitor the whole Enedis wide area network (WAN) that will connect
its industrial and tertiary sites. It combines the best of Orange
Business Services fixed and mobile infrastructure, with reinforced
availability to meet Enedis’ needs. Network partitioning and 24/7
support from a team of Orange Cyberdefense experts will strengthen
the system’s security.
Supporting new uses
Enedis needed its IT network to be a true technological platform
to support the ongoing development of new digital uses and offer
its employees adapted ways of working. The WAN will enable Enedis
to carry out predictive maintenance across its entire power network
by using the data from sensors deployed at the industrial sites. It
will also offer the technicians a real mobile office by giving them
access to their work environment (operating and collaboration
tools) via Wi-Fi directly from these sites.
“The Enedis project is a concrete illustration of the major
change affecting the digital transformation of companies, which is
being enriched by data to create more value and new uses. We are
proud to help Enedis modernize its energy distribution networks,
which are becoming more efficient and more environmentally
friendly, and pave the way for smarter territories,” says Helmut
Reisinger, CEO of Orange Business Services.
“The development of smart power networks is a major priority for
Enedis. More than a contract with Orange Business Services, it’s an
industrial partnership. It allows us to reinforce and secure our
industrial strategy to deploy smart grid technology at the service
of the energy transition and to contribute to the digital
transformation of our industry,” adds Philippe Monloubou, Chairman
of the Board of Directors at Enedis.
