Energy distribution infrastructure operator Jemena said it has found a way to “really mine” the tens of billions of data points collected by electricity smart meters in Victoria for the first time. The company late last year said it had built a platform called JAWS - Jemena AWS - with the assistance of AWS and Deloitte, in the hope of influencing customer behaviour but also its own infrastructure investment decisions, a key input to energy pricing. JAWS is now about two years old and was used during the pandemic to identify vulnerable end users - those whose usage had suddenly dropped - and advise them of support options, and to identify at-risk users whose energy needs had suddenly increased.
