Case Study: National Grid accelerates infrastructure planning with Atos Triton

Unlocking the power of data with project Triton

National Grid partnered with Atos to address a major infrastructure planning challenge: traditional manual modeling methods had created a backlog that would take ten years to clear, leaving decision-makers with outdated data when planning for future net-zero energy demands. The company needed a faster, more accurate way to assess electricity network changes and respond to growing demand.

Atos implemented Triton, a digital twin and data visualization solution that models current and future power flows and supports faster scenario-based planning. The results were significant: backlog time was cut by 53%, area review time was reduced by 76%, and National Grid avoided the need for around 30 additional staff while improving cost efficiency and accelerating decarbonization planning.
