GRDF Reaches Four Million Smart Meter Milestone with Oracle

Leading French DSO GRDF has rolled out more than four million smart meters, powered by Oracle Meter Data Management (MDM). This milestone is part of GRDF’s larger smart meter initiative that is on track to reach 11 million households by 2023. With this program, GRDF can further realize its vision of Improving energy management and enhancing customer satisfaction. GRDF serves 90 percent of France’s gas market.

“The move to smart meters and implementation of new digitized functionalities are critical to delivering a natural gas network that fosters energy transition for our territories,” said Vincent PERTUIS, GRDF Director for Smart Gas Metering Program. “With Oracle MDM, GRDF will be able to use data to continue to reimagine how we serve customers, accelerate decarbonization, and increase the flexibility and reliability of our network.” 

Using Oracle Utilities Meter Data Management (MDM), GRDF is modernizing its natural gas transmission network to make it an effective tool for the energy transition. The result will be a fully digitized and connected network that will deliver benefits to customers and the environment by integrating renewable gas, enhancing safety, providing data to better manage gas supply, and linking with other networks to enhance flexibility and storage capacity. 

The smart meter roll-out will provide GRDF with massive amounts of interval meter data that will be essential to running a more efficient, cleaner network. Oracle Utilities MDM helps energy providers not only capture the data but securely optimise its use and management to support core operations and fuel innovation.

“GRDF’s smart grid modernization project is the largest in the world and hitting the four million smart meter marker represents tremendous progress,” said Francois Vazille, vice president of JAPAC & EMEA, Oracle Utilities. “Oracle MDM is a critical component to GRDF’s digital transformation journey and in opening up new opportunities for GRDF to serve its customers with clean, reliable energy.”
