Elsewedy Electric’s scope of work includes engineering, procurement and installation of all components of the project. The advanced metering infrastructure and smart meters will be delivered together.

Electricity demand in Egypt has skyrocketed in recent years, and additional power generation has only gradually matched demand. In this situation, the Egyptian government has a strong interest in energy efficiency and improving electricity distribution, in addition to strengthening electricity supply and primary energy diversity. We have responded to Cairo’s challenge through a harmonious collaboration between Elsewedy Electric and the group sister companies. Digitalization is driven by Iskraemeco, who has been working closely with Elsewedy Electric T&D to complement the portfolio of mega EPC projects by developing a world-class, customized solution to meet the current and future needs of the rapidly developing city of Cairo.

Iskraemeco has participated in this major project by designing and developing a solution to provide the advanced metering infrastructure with the following components:

• Intelligent Energy IoT Iskraemeco electronic single and three phase meters (IE.5 and IE.7), with G3-PLC or GPRS/3G/4G communication modems.
• Data Concentrator AC750 for connectivity between the head-end system and smart electricity meters, designed with exchangeable communication modules.
• Symbiot Software Suite.
• Complete communication system for remote data reading and transmission from smart meters to the head-end system.
• Integration of the IoT solution with various systems to ensure smooth and secure data transmission.
• Security solution that includes multiple levels and types of security.
• Complete IT hardware infrastructure for the AMI system.
• Installation and commissioning of the first delivery of 50,000 meters.
• 5-year contract for operation and maintenance.
