Gridline Partners

WHAT WE DO

Six business lines. One network.

From the generation busbar to the customer meter, each line of business attaches to the same physical system. Gridline originates, designs and technically directs each engagement; execution runs through utility teams and contracting partners.

01 · Utility COO / Director of Operations

Grid modernisation

We design and technically direct the modernisation of ageing MV/LV networks: SCADA and ADMS programmes, sensing and automation, network reconfiguration and control-room upgrades.

Full detail

WHAT WE DELIVER

  • SCADA and ADMS readiness assessments across primary substations and MV feeders
  • Feeder automation programmes: ring main unit motorisation, sectionalisers, fault passage indicators — specified, sequenced and directed by Gridline
  • Network reconfiguration studies to reduce SAIDI and SAIFI on the worst-performing feeders
  • Control-room upgrade direction: display walls, operator procedures, switching-order workflows

02 · Utility engineering directorate

Transmission & distribution engineering

Design, specification and technical oversight of line upgrades, substation works, capacity reinforcement, interconnection studies and network extension — engineered to the standards the network already runs on.

Full detail

WHAT WE DELIVER

  • MV and HV line design: routing, conductor selection, pole and tower specification
  • Substation engineering: new bay design, transformer replacement specifications, busbar reconfiguration, protection settings
  • Capacity reinforcement studies where load growth is outrunning firm capacity
  • Interconnection studies for new generation, large customers and cross-border ties

03 · Utility commercial directorate

Metering & revenue systems

Smart metering and AMI programme design, meter data management, prepaid and postpaid integration, and the vending and billing interfaces that turn energy delivered into revenue collected — anchored on the Baseload Revenue platform.

Full detail

WHAT WE DELIVER

  • AMI programme design: meter selection, communications architecture, deployment sequencing
  • Meter data management system specification, integration and data-quality rules
  • Prepaid and postpaid integration with existing vending and billing platforms
  • Revenue protection: anomaly detection on consumption data, audit sampling programmes

04 · IPPs, ministries, DFIs

Generation & storage

Project structuring, feasibility and technical advisory for solar, wind and hydro generation, battery energy storage, micro-grids and mini-grids for underserved communities, and demand-side management — including full-lifecycle streetlighting retrofit programmes.

05 · Utility CISO / regulator

Grid security & resilience

OT and ICS cyber security, network hardening, fault ride-through, storm and flood resilience, and restoration planning for the events that will happen.

Full detail

WHAT WE DELIVER

  • OT/ICS security assessments across SCADA, substation automation and metering head-ends
  • Network segmentation and hardening designs for control and station networks
  • Storm and flood resilience: vulnerability mapping, hardening priorities, spares strategy
  • Restoration planning: black-start reviews, restoration sequences, exercise programmes

06 · Utility planning / regulator

Distribution intelligence

GIS asset registers, network digital twins, feeder-level analytics, network performance monitoring and regulatory reporting. Delivered with the AMPERE platform.

Full detail

WHAT WE DELIVER
