Theft of Infrastructure.

An ageing network with increasing maintenance costs.

Unplanned outages compounded by growth in demand and geographic expansion.

Inability of the current grid to accommodate small scale embedded generation.

Ineffective / inadequate system performance measures.

Legacy Information Technology systems with fragmented applications.

Lack of institutional memory as a result of experienced employees retiring without the necessary skills transfer to other employees or systems.

Increasing compliance requirements with respect to quality of supply and service, finance, health, safety and environment.

Fragmented excellence & duplication.

PresenterPresentation NotesThe two (2) graphs represent the outcome and maturity status. In this case, it represents the current maturity of eThekwini Electricity.The green rectangles represent eThekwini’s current status against the eight (8) domains

Graph on left – a comparison of eThekwini to similar type Utilities worldwide – orange diamonds refer to the Peer group average and vertical orange bars speak to the maturity range of the various peer Utilities worldwide

Graph on right – a comparison of eThekwini to All Utilities (=/- 190) assessed worldwide -blue diamonds refer to the group average and vertical blue bars speak to the maturity range of the various Utilities worldwide

Overall observations • The eThekwini Team is committed to explore opportunities to enhance their overall

business performance and sustainability;

• Numerous technology implementation initiatives are taking place within eThekwini Electricity which is commendable;

• The technology implementation initiatives are not necessarily taking place as an integral part of an integrated smart grid strategy;

• The survey results reflects the level of “inconsistency and absence” of an integrated technology deployment approach (level of silo approach);

• The approval and adoption across Lines of Business (LOB) of the smart grid Vision, technology deployment plan and an integrated implementation strategy, will significantly contribute to the smart grid maturity level of the utility;

• It is essential to focus on the employee participation and the business structure alignment to support the smart grid journey;

• The eThekwini Team demonstrated commitment to the smart grid maturity assessment process and the participation was outstanding.

Vision Statement:

“Provider of a resilient, self-reliant, reliable and sustainable grid, enabling seamless access to customer and grid information.”

Provider – as an integral agent of service delivery, the utility is called to serve

Resilient – a grid that is able to withstand or recover quickly from network failures as well as disasters

Self-reliant – a grid that requires no human intervention but is able to seamlessly detect and automatically restore itself

Reliable – performing admirably without any interruption

Sustainable – economically and environmentally viable without compromising quality

Seamless – convenient and ease of access

ComponentDescription1) In-Home Technologies Customer Interface Units Display and load control devices at the customer premise, interconnected with the utility's systems via a Home Area Network (HAN).

2) CommunicationsNetwork technologies that interconnect the various Smart Meter Infrastructure (SMI) components.

3) Smart MetersSmart Meters and the associated AMI Master Station System

4) Back Office The eTE systems providing customer management and billing functions.

5) Customer InterfaceSystem providing direct interface with the customer such as Integrated Voice Response (IVR) and the customer web portal.

6) Security and Systems ManagementSecurity and other management systems used to maintain, monitor and manage the infrastructure and application environment.

7) IntegrationEnterprise Integration Architecture (EAI) is the integration framework composed of a collection of technologies and services which form a middleware to enable the integration of systems and applications across the enterprise.
