AGL

AGL Energy generates energy from thermal power, natural gas, wind power, hydroelectricity, solar energy, gas storage, and coal. In recent years, the company has seen massive growth—from supplying 300 megawatts of electricity in 2005 to 5,500 MW in 2012. But with the growth of acquisitions and renewable adoption, the company has also seen massive growth in its data. Using AVEVA PI System and AVEVA Data Hub, AGL centralized its data so teams across the organization as well as external partners have easy, secure access to real-time information. In a pilot study with four of AGL’s external partners, cloud-based data sharing in AVEVA Data Hub greatly reduced the time AGL spent generating reports for partners. 

“What came along was a solution that really fit what we needed, and that was [AVEVA PI System]. It could connect to any one of our controllers. We could harvest every piece of real-time data and make it available to every person at AGL.”

–David Bartolo, Head of Asset Performance, AGL

“AGL Energy is excited to be leveraging AVEVA Data Hub to deliver a new standard in collaboration and real-time data transparency within our renewable utility network. Newfound insights into energy and power generation are helping us enhance site efficiency and asset utilization, while mitigating costs and potential critical outages. We anticipate significant in-person savings in the first year and look forward to leveraging our competitive advantage to provide similar value to our diverse power generation portfolio.”
