• Regulatory submission shows Edge permanent, durable monitors have lower opex and higher NPV than previous portable monitoring solution
• Edge Zero asset level data supports SA Power Networks innovative solar soak tariff and DERMs program

Outcomes

• Commercial rollout program for over 2,500 monitors in Adelaide, major regional population centres and remote interconnection points
• Regulator approved positive NPV analysis for Edge program based on opex savings

Edge Zero Advantage

• Accurate, real time power quality data and asset level
• Simple, live installation
• Durable, zero maintenance, 15 years asset life
• High level of Edge engineering engagement during pilot and tailored solution for network operator needs
