Siemens data platform helps Northumbrian Water to tackle household leaks

• Northumbrian Water Group to connect more than one million smart water meters to Siemens data management system
• Cloud-basedsystem will identify household leaks to help reduce water consumption and support Ofwat targets
• Siemens solution represents the company's largest ever deployment of grid software
• EnergyIP® MDM X for Water software is part of the Siemens Xcelerator portfolio

Siemens Grid Software has secured a new contract with Northumbrian Water Group and deployed EnergyIP® MDM X, part of the Siemens Xcelerator portfolio. Northumbrian Water Group (NWG) is enhancing its ability to detect and reduce household water leaks by connecting more than one million smart water meters to a new Siemens data management platform by 2030.

The water utility is undergoing a major rollout of smart meters, which report data back to the cloud on an hourly basis. The Siemens Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) solution will allow NWG to analyse this data to identify household consumption anomalies and alert customers of potential leaks on their properties.

The system will ultimately help NWG to meet UK water regulator Ofwat's targets for reducing leakages and per capita consumption. The utility services 4.5 million people in the North East of England, and in the South East as Essex & Suffolk Water.

Siemens collaborated with NWG's team to design, develop, test and launch the meter data management SaaS, which is powered by the technology company's EnergyIP® software. It represents the largest solution of its kind implemented by Siemens for the water industry in Europe, and its largest deployment of grid software to date.
