the largest order in its history
Faced with climate change and accelerating
energy challenges, Belgian network operator Fluvius intends to
digitize its electricity, gas, wastewater, and heating networks in
the Flemish part of the country over the next few years. In terms
of telecontrol technology, the company has chosen to rely on
LACROIX know-how, following a European call for tenders. Some 2,500
telecontrol systems per year will be delivered from 2023 to
2030.
Worth a total of 11 million euros over the
period, this order is the largest ever recorded by LACROIX
subsidiary SAE IT-Systems in its 50-year history. "This order shows
that we are also one of the world's leading suppliers of
telecontrol technology. We are proud to be able to contribute to
the successful implementation of the energy transition in
Flanders", explains Ronald Vrancken, LACROIX Environment activity
Executive Managing Director.
"LACROIX telecontrol technology is one of the elements that will
enable us to progressively digitize our networks," says Jean-Pierre
Hollevoet, Director of Energy and Climate Change at Fluvius. "It
will give us a real-time overview of network load and allow us to
control and automate networks remotely. This is essential if we are
to respond confidently to the energy transition and climate change
in Flanders."
"This year alone, we will be digitizing 2,000 local network
stations, or around 10 per working day," adds Raf Bellers, Director
of Network Management at Fluvius. "We're also adapting dozens of
wind and solar farms, pumping stations, service stations and heat
delivery stations. With LACROIX, we have chosen a supplier capable
of offering a ready-to-use solution to manage energy and all these
applications. What's more, the technology developed by LACROIX is
very 'plug&play', enabling us to implement it as efficiently as
possible".
This new order, a landmark one for LACROIX Environment activity,
illustrates the success of the company's strategy of international
development and market share in the deployment of intelligent
solutions for the ecological transition.
