Schneider Electric to modernize and automate Serbia’s entire MV
electrical distribution network
Schneider Electric solutions help upgrade Serbia’s
medium-voltage electrical distribution network €140 million
project to improve grid reliability, reduce failures and shorten
outage duration. It will also reduce network losses, which will
allow huge CO2 emissions reduction and savings.
Schneider Electric, the leader in the digital transformation of
energy management and automation, has signed a contract to supply
medium voltage (MV) equipment and grid management software to
upgrade Serbia’s electrical distribution network. This
country-wide, grid modernization project aims to improve network
reliability, reducing power outages and their duration.
Serbia seeks to improve electricity reliability and
reduce losses
This upgrade will improve the quality of electricity supply and
thus strengthen the service provided by Serbia’s distribution
system operator Elektrodistribucija Srbije (EDS) and its
customers.
“I am sure that the new investment in the modernization of our
electricity distribution system of €140 million will improve the
supply of our citizens, as well as business entities, and
significantly reduce losses in the network by several million euros
per year,” said Serbian Prime Minister Ana
Brnabic.
Schneider Electric will optimize Serbia’s modernization
and automation efforts
As a market-leading technology provider, Schneider Electric has
the connected products, software and expertise to modernize,
automate and transform the country’s entire MV grid. The
digitalized grids of the future improve energy efficiency,
accelerate the integration of renewable energy sources, such as
solar and wind power, balance energy supply and demand and thus
facilitate the green energy transition. Data management
capabilities support efforts to optimize and decarbonize
demand-side energy use.
Grid modernization and digitalization also help identify how
best to configure and operate the existing distribution network,
which can reduce or postpone large capital investments in building
power plants – saving public funds and reducing
waste.
“Software produced in Serbia by Schneider Electric can be
implemented in our energy network to make it more reliable and
efficient, for fewer outages and reduce losses on our network,”
said Dubravka Djedovic, Serbian Minister of Mining and
Energy.
“I’m proud that Schneider Electric is helping Serbia achieve its
grid modernization goals and support its green energy transition,”
said Gary Lawrence, President of Power and Grid segment at
Schneider Electric. “We have over 20 years of experience
working in the country, including our global center for research,
development, and production of Schneider Electric’s software to
optimize electrical distribution management.”
