"Omnetric solutions will help Brazilian utilities to better integrate new technologies, such as renewables and microgrids, into electricity networks. They will also help to improve grid operations with reduced costs and increase capital effectiveness by enabling more-informed business decisions based on real-time data from the grid,” said Adriano Giudice, managing director of Accenture’s utilities industry group in Brazil.
Omnetric Brazil will be based in the city of Belo Horizonte, which is also a hub for Siemens smart grid research and development and an Accenture office location.
