Siemens AG will conduct a series of five-year studies on Egypt’s electricity distribution grid to “identify the feasibility of deploying different advanced energy technologies,” the company said in a press release (pdf). Under a contract with the Egyptian Electricity Holding Company (EEHC), Siemens will analyze and examine the grid to look at ways to integrate smart technology into the grid, train the EEHC planning team, and provide new software tools. There was no mention of the value of the contract.
