Leading low voltage network monitoring provider Edge Zero has announced signing of a long term supply contract with Endeavour Energy for the provision of over 7,000 EdgeSensor monitoring devices. This investment will bring the total number of EdgeSensor transformer monitors deployed across Endeavour’s distribution network to approximately 10,000 over a three-year rollout period.
The EdgeSensors relay live data on power flows, power quality, faults and congestion on existing and new distribution transformers across the Endeavour Energy network. Each sensor’s data is visible on Edge Zero’s integrated EdgeConnected™ platform. The expansion of real time monitoring across the Endeavour Energy network will result in enhanced grid safety and reliability, more efficient connection of customer-sited distributed energy resources (DER), reduced carbon emissions and improved customer satisfaction.
Endeavour Energy is committed to empowering customers and giving them confidence in the adoption of new technologies, seamlessly integrating solar PV, batteries, and electric vehicles into the energy system. By scaling its Edge Zero solution, Endeavour Energy is reinforcing its leadership in energy innovation and enabling customers to benefit from clean and flexible energy technologies.
“By investing further in advanced monitoring technologies, we’re ensuring our customers can confidently adopt renewable energy solutions while enjoying a stable and reliable grid,” said Colin Crisafulli, General Manager of Future Grid and Asset Management at Endeavour Energy. “This initiative enhances our service offerings with more flexible and tailored solutions, supports the equitable allocation of flexible operating envelopes, and places our customers at the heart of the energy transition, ensuring a sustainable energy future for our community.”
Richard McIndoe, CEO of Edge Zero, expressed enthusiasm about the ongoing partnership: "We are thrilled to continue our collaboration with Endeavour Energy. The integration of our EdgeSensors with the EdgeConnected network visibility platform significantly enhances situational awareness for utilities by providing real-time insights into the distribution network and its health. The Edge grid monitoring solution reduces asset management costs, improves overall operational efficiency and enables the accelerated rollout of customer clean energy solutions such as solar, battery and EVs.”
