Alstom Grid to Provide Egypt with National EMS
Alstom Grid has signed a 12 million euro contract with Egyptian Electricity Transmission Co. (EETC) for the supply and delivery of an energy management system (EMS) replacing the existing National Control Centre in Giza and its backup in Abassia. The project also aims to replace and expand EETC's telecommunications network, connecting to existing systems throughout the country with full digital technologies.
EETC will benefit from Alstom Grid's e-terra suite of EMS software applications to secure greater and efficient grid reliability, stability, security and management of interconnections with neighboring countries, Libya and Syria through Jordan at optimized cost. The solution also includes a market management system that can provide EETC with real-time information on tariffs to both producers and consumers. This will allow the opening of the Egyptian Electricity Market, a regional first, when EETC decides to launch the application.
Egypt is the second African country to decentralize its electricity market (the first was South Africa).
