October 7th, 2020 – Hansen Technologies is pleased to announce that Australia’s Western Power, a leading electricity distributor, is advancing its capabilities in the smart energy era with the addition of the network billing module within Hansen CIS. Coupled with the company’s established use of Hansen MDM, the addition of the Hansen Network Billing Module will enhance Western Power’s ability to handle the advanced metering infrastructure, as it charts a new journey in the age of digitalization and unprecedented data creation.
In a rapidly changing landscape, Western Power continuously strives to meet the evolving energy needs of their customers, providing a wide range of traditional and renewable energy sources to power modern lifestyles. With an exponential data increase expected over the next few years, the newly added network billing module within Hansen CIS will enable Western Power to more effectively meet the needs of energy retailers while providing the necessary capabilities for end-customers to experience the rewards of innovative energy solutions.
Andrew Smith, Head of Information and Communication Technology, Western Power, commented: “We have enjoyed an immensely rewarding relationship with Hansen Technologies spanning more than ten years. Operating in an increasingly data-first environment, we were in need of a solution that could handle a higher degree of advanced metering and complex billing demands. With enhanced operational efficiency, reduced billing time and increased market dynamics, the latest upgrades to Western Power’s capabilities marks another milestone in this partnership.”
