Finnish distribution network operator Kajave has moved away from its current MDM system and connected its Landis+Gyr AIM system directly to the national Datahub using the Landis+Gyr Datahub Connector (DHC) - a cloud-based solution powered by Google Cloud. This marks the completion of the first phase of the project, which includes the migration of data and processes related to Datahub 1.0. Phase 2 coincides with the release of Datahub version 2.0 by Fingrid, the Finnish transmission system operator. In addition to providing a faster and more direct connection to Datahub, DHC has also streamlined the process, resulting in significant savings.

With the launch of Finland's national Datahub in February 2022, data on 3.7 million electricity points of use, previously stored in separate systems between 100 electricity suppliers and 80 distribution network operators, will now be centrally and immediately available to authorized parties. This radically simplifies and speeds up day-to-day operations, such as switching suppliers, which takes place more than 400,000 times a year in Finland. The migration of processes such as balancing to Datahub means that network operators can transfer information directly to the electricity market, without having to notify each trader individually.

The exchange of information between operators has already fallen to a thousandth of last year. The validation of metering data, the calculations required by the distribution network and the long-term storage of metering data are now carried out in the Landis+Gyr AIM system. By changing the system and service solution, Kajave will be able to focus on the system functions required by the distribution network operator.

At the same time, Kajave will be able to simplify its information system architecture and achieve cost savings.
