Orion owns and operates the electricity distribution network that provides power to Christchurch and central Canterbury.

Orion’s electricity distribution network is facing significant increasing electricity demand over and above that from traditional sources, primarily in the form of industrial conversion to electricity, electrification of transportation and intensified infill housing. 

Orion has an objective to become an intelligent Distribution Network Operator (iDNO) that is future fit and enables our customers to connect and use their distributed energy resources (DER) and low carbon technology at speed and scale.

Orion is seeking to purchase a LV network analytics platform (or software solution), that can accept data from a combination of smart meter, other telemetry devices and network topology/configuration information and provide LV network analytics on that data. 

The key objectives from this project include: 

- Leveraging access to existing, and yet to be installed, smart meter, LV monitor and third-party sourced data to create improved visibility of assets and activity on our network 

- Providing power system insights through advanced analytics and enhanced capability 

- Identifying system constraints, network performance improvements and efficiency for optimal investment.
