ENGIE and Schneider Electric plan to digitise the energy sector

Schneider Electric and ENGIE have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to develop and deploy new digital solutions for increased operational efficiency of renewables (wind and solar PV power stations).

They want to achieve such goals by further developing the SCADA (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition) systems and application software powered by Schneider Electric's Wonderware systems.

Both companies will also focus on the areas of asset management, SCADA obsolescence management, remote monitoring and diagnostics and cybersecurity. This initiative should lead to increased digitisation of the energy sector.
