🌍 A successful and high-value training week at the Medium Voltage Live Line Works Campus in Ottmarsheim.

As part of our ongoing collaboration with ΔΕΔΔΗΕ Α.Ε. – HEDNO S.A., the Greek electricity distribution operator, we had the opportunity to deliver a trainers training program focused on Live Line Works distance and contact methods on MV networks (TST HTA).

🔶 Our commitment: to share our proven expertise through rigorous methodology, strong pedagogical standards, and operational excellence built on extensive field experience.

🔶 Key components of the training program:
🔹 Practical application on 20 kV systems, with a focus on regulation, distance and contact live‑working methods,
🔹 In‑depth pedagogical, theorical and practical sessions led by our certified technical trainers,
🔹 A technical tour of our french regulation committee, testing and repair laboratory, offering full insight into diagnostic and maintenance processes,
🔹 A visit to one of our equipment supplier partners, providing additional perspective on technologies and solutions used in live‑working environments.

This intensive week was highly valued by the HEDNO teams, reinforcing the relevance of our training approach and paving the way for a long‑term and trusted partnership.

👏 We extend our sincere thanks to our training teams and to all participants for their professionalism, engagement, curiosity and constructive exchanges throughout the week.

🔹 We look forward to continuing this collaboration with HEDNO and supporting their future initiatives.

🌍 Transforming Power Networks to Drive the Energy Transition

Electricity grid operators today face two major challenges: supporting the rapid growth of renewable energy and strengthening network resilience in the face of climate change.

🔹 To meet these challenges, they are investing heavily, recruiting new talent, and accelerating innovation. The digitalization of networks and the deployment of smart technologies have paved the way for more precise grid management, proactive maintenance, and an improved user experience.

The use of data and AI is deeply reshaping operations, professions, and organizational models, providing new levers for efficiency and quality of service.

🔹 Beyond technology, this represents a true cultural transformation: evolving practices, supporting field teams, and integrating new skills to build a more agile, sustainable, and resilient network.

🔶 A warm thank you to Pamela Largue and Enlit Europe for the opportunity to share perspectives on how our energy systems are evolving.

🌏 EDF International Networks accelerates AMI 2.0 in India with the first smart meter installed in Gujarat

Building on the successful deployment of 1.9 million smart meters in Bihar since 2018, EDF IN has expanded its footprint with a large‑scale program in Gujarat that aims to install 3.3 million smart meters across the state. 👏

🔹 After an initial phase dedicated to setting the IT infrastructure, the installation of the first smart meter in Gujarat marks a major milestone in a journey driven by ambition, a landmark achievement made possible through strong collaboration, technical excellence, and relentless commitment across teams.

🔹 This moment is made even more meaningful by the on‑site presence of our CEO, Sebastien Ruiz, in India, a strong signal of the project’s strategic importance and of our shared ambition to accelerate the digital transformation of India’s power sector. His engagement alongside local teams and partners sets the tone for the next stages of rollout.
While the full 3.3 million installations are ahead of us, this first meter lays the groundwork for a smarter, more efficient, and more sustainable energy network for millions of consumers in Gujarat.

👏 Thank you to all teams and partners for turning vision into action!
