Safegrid, a G&W Electric company, has reached a significant milestone with its first sensor installation in Australia following its acquisition in May 2026. The sensors were recently installed in Melbourne and are now monitoring Powercor’s electricity distribution network, marking an important step in expanding Safegrid’s Intelligent Grid System® technology into the Australian market.
Safegrid’s technology provides utilities with real-time visibility into distribution network conditions, helping identify developing issues, locate faults and support more proactive grid management. By delivering actionable insights, the system helps utilities improve grid reliability and make more informed operational decisions.
The installation was completed in collaboration with Safegrid’s local Australian sales partner, Insulect, whose expertise and support were instrumental in the successful deployment.
This milestone represents another step in expanding access to advanced grid monitoring technologies and supporting utilities as they modernize their distribution networks.
