A Selection of IoT applications for 
Electricity Utilities

Smart electric meters provide real-time usage data, enhancing billing accuracy and allowing consumers to monitor and manage their energy consumption effectively.

IoT devices can monitor the grid’s state, identifying disruptions or potential failures, enabling a quicker response and preventing widespread outages.

IoT sensors can detect potential equipment failures before they occur, leading to cost savings, less downtime, and increased service longevity.

These systems allow utilities to adjust power supply based on real-time demand, ensuring efficient energy distribution and potentially preventing blackouts during peak demand periods.

IoT sensors can monitor utility poles’ tilt, sending alerts for any significant changes that could indicate a risk, thereby preventing potential outages or safety hazards.

With the increased interconnectivity of the grid, IoT devices can also help monitor for cyber threats, ensuring the security and reliability of the electricity supply.

Reduce ecological impact by improving operational efficiencies and protecting the environment from wildfires and other infrastructure related hazards.
