Manila Electric Company (Meralco) and Cisco are working to provide computing and networking infrastructure to serve as foundation for operations on a smart grid.
“Legacy grid infrastructure, rising power generation costs and emerging technologies are driving the company to pursue a new and more intelligent distribution network. We needed an IT infrastructure that is robust, flexible, and highly secure yet cost-effective. In an industry made even more challenging with deregulation, we remain committed to the interests of our stakeholders: to provide our customers with the best value in energy, products and services and at the same time to run the business (for our investors) effectively and efficiently,” said Marthyn Cuan, Meralco’s vice president and chief information officer.
