Vattenfall is Europe’s fifth largest generator of electricity, with operations in all parts of the electricity value chain: generation, transmission, distribution and sales. Vattenfall generates primarily nuclear and hydro power which is distributed to 1.3 million customers in Sweden, Denmark, Finland, Germany and Poland. Vattenfall is also a the largest regional producer of heat, conducts consulting, energy trading and lignite mining. The Group has over 32,000 employees, and the Parent Company, Vattenfall AB, is 100%–owned by the Swedish state.

Vattenfall’s vision is to be the leading European clean energy company and their Smart Grid initiatives illustrate their innovative approach to modernization of the grid and their business operations. Vattenfall Nordic currently operates approximately 360,000 meters in Finland and another 850,000 meters in Sweden, most of which have been converted to smart metering/AMI.

eMeter’s EnergyIP is powering Vattenfall’s MDMS implementation and will provide historical storage for information regarding meters, e.g. measurement values, power outages, power quality, remote processing, meter configuration and tampering issues. The system includes functionality for validation and connection of information and interfaces to other systems for receiving and sending information. The Vattenfall solution gives improved processes, new energy efficiency services for customers, more exact network planning and construction and proactive improvement of customer voltage quality. All of which helps support Vattenfall’s vision of a clean energy future.

Vattenfall Finland MDMS solution based on EnergyIP is now in production and Vattenfall Sweden is currently developing their solution with go-live planned for Q1 2011.
