The national government of the Arab Republic of Egypt, through the state-owned Egyptian Electricity Holding Company (EEHC), is set to transform its electricity grid into a smart grid with the help of the French industrial group Schneider Electric. The two entities have already signed a U.S. $287.5 million contract for the implementation of the project. The scope of the work includes the construction of four control centers that will use Schneider Electric's Advanced Distribution Management System (ADMS) to monitor, control and reconfigure the grid, using "big data" and artificial intelligence.
