Case Study: Northern Ireland Water enhances sustainability and profitability with GridBeyond

Northern Ireland Water - Customer Case Study

Northern Ireland Water, the government-owned provider of water and sewage services for Northern Ireland, was the single largest electricity consumer in the region and sought innovative ways to manage its energy use. The utility was committed to sustainability and reducing its environmental impact while also controlling costs. To address this challenge, Northern Ireland Water partnered with GridBeyond to leverage its energy technology platform.

GridBeyond connected NI Water's assets, including aerators, pumps, and standby generation, to its intelligent platform. This solution allowed the utility to participate in energy markets, generating new revenue and achieving significant cost savings. The partnership directly supported the national grid in integrating more renewable energy, helping Northern Ireland progress towards its 40% renewable energy target and substantially reducing CO2 emissions.
