EDMI and Bluecurrent extend partnership to drive intelligent grid transformation across Australia and New Zealand

Global intelligent energy solutions leader EDMI has announced a long-term partnership renewal with Bluecurrent, a leading smart metering and digital services company. The agreement extends a collaboration spanning more than two decades, reaffirming EDMI’s commitment to intelligent, resilient, and data-driven grid solutions across the region.

The collaboration marks one of the first large-scale intelligent grid deployments in Australia, signalling how multi-utility data and edge intelligence are becoming integral to modern grid management. It represents a milestone in the evolution of connected, interoperable energy infrastructure across Australia and New Zealand.

Under the agreement, EDMI will deliver an integrated suite of grid and edge intelligence solutions powered by its NEOS platform, supporting multi-utility revenue metering, intelligent demand response, outage management, and distributed energy resource management (DERMS). Together, these capabilities enable real-time visibility, control, and optimisation across distributed energy networks.

The agreement comes at a time when Australia is entering a new phase of regulatory reform that will accelerate smart meter rollouts through 2030. As volumes increase, metering coordinators are ready to ensure secure, interoperable, and future-ready systems that can adapt to dynamic grid demands. By partnering, EDMI and Bluecurrent are laying the digital foundations for a more connected, flexible, and resilient energy future.

“Partnering with Bluecurrent allows us to extend our multi-utility intelligence platform deeper across the region,” said Roy Kirsopp, Group Chief Executive Officer at EDMI. “Connected metering infrastructure is the foundation of the energy transition, empowering utilities to measure more, understand faster, and act with confidence. Together, we’re scaling the next generation of intelligent grids.”

Richard Fink, Acting Chief Executive at Bluecurrent, said “This long-term partnership gives us the flexibility, reliability, and digital confidence we need as the smart meter rollout accelerates across Australia. Continuing to work with EDMI reinforces our ability to continue serving our customers securely, efficiently, and sustainably as the industry embraces intelligent grid technologies.”

This partnership underscores a shared commitment to supporting utilities, regulators, and consumers through the energy transition, combining EDMI’s intelligent grid expertise and proven technology with Bluecurrent’s market leadership and operational excellence.
