Case Study
City-Wide Smart Grid Integrates Utilities and Emissions Management
Project Description:
Ohmesh partnered with a major Australian city to deliver a fully integrated, city-wide smart grid solution. The project connected electricity, water, and gas networks with real-time monitoring, predictive analytics, and emissions tracking. This initiative enabled the city to optimise resource use, improve sustainability outcomes, and deliver smarter, data-driven services to residents.
Scope of Works Delivered:
- Designed and deployed an integrated smart grid across electricity, water, and gas networks.
- Installed advanced sensors and IoT infrastructure for real-time utility monitoring.
- Developed centralised dashboards for city planners, utility operators, and sustainability teams.
- Integrated emissions tracking and reporting to support city-wide decarbonisation targets.
- Enabled automated demand response, energy balancing, and predictive maintenance.
Project Outcomes:
- Improved operational efficiency across all city utilities.
- Enabled real-time emissions monitoring to inform policy and reporting.
- Reduced overall energy and water wastage through predictive analytics.
- Supported the city’s sustainability and net-zero objectives.
- Established a scalable model for other municipalities to adopt smart, integrated utilities.
Risks:
- Complexity in integrating electricity, water, and gas networks across a large urban area.
Challenges:
- Coordinating multiple utility providers and municipal departments.
Issues:
- Occasional delays in real-time data synchronisation across different utility systems.
