Smart Grid Surveillance by Exeri enables reduction of carbon footprint by 25 000 000 tons CO₂ per year

In a recent study supported by Energimyndigheten, the Swedish Energy Agency, the potential for avoided greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions enabled by Smart Grid Surveillance has been estimated.

The assessment has been performed following the Avoided Emissions Framework (AEF). The innovation Smart Grid Surveillance has the potential to reduce GHG emissions in three ways:

- By decreasing the distance driven with vehicles to find the location of outages and other faults in the electric grid.
- By reducing the operation time of fossil fuel back-up generators.
- By enabling a reduction in the number of destructive wildfires caused by faulty power grids.

Smart Grid Surveillance enables the potential avoidance of 25 000 000 tCO₂e/year in 2030.
