en.Wedoany.com Reported - Global energy technology provider Landis+Gyr has partnered with Australian energy company Origin Energy to modernize its gas network using smart digital technology.
This collaboration marks the first large-scale attempt in Australia to fully digitize gas network operations, covering all households and businesses within Origin Energy's gas network.
Over the next 18 months, Landis+Gyr will deploy smart IoT modules, communication technology, and a data management platform on Origin Energy's existing metering assets. These modules enable remote meter reading and near real-time data insights.
Amber Fennell, General Manager of Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) at Origin Energy, stated: This upgrade supports the company's goal of improving customer experience while leveraging technology to more efficiently utilize existing infrastructure, driving the modernization of Australia's gas network. The upgrade will be carried out without affecting customers' LPG supply. Eliminating manual meter reading to improve data accuracy and billing timeliness will enable the company to enhance customer experience.
David Maclean, Senior Vice President of Landis+Gyr for Asia Pacific, noted: The company's smart gas technology provides utilities and energy service providers with a fast track to digitalization, helping to improve customer service outcomes, enhance installation safety, and boost operational efficiency. This milestone marks a significant step toward introducing smarter, more flexible energy infrastructure to Australia. By enhancing existing gas meters with Landis+Gyr's smart gas solutions, Origin Energy can adopt future IoT technologies without replacing existing assets, which not only improves customer experience but also lays the foundation for long-term innovation.
If successful, this deployment could pave the way for the technology to be extended to approximately 2 million Landis+Gyr gas meters already installed across Australia, enabling remote meter reading and near real-time data insights on a broader scale, thereby avoiding large-scale network replacement.
