Grupo Saesa and Trilliant Sign Strategic, Long-Term Partnership

Trilliant, a leading international provider of solutions for Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI), smart grid, smart cities and lIoT, announced its strategic, long-term partnership with Grupo Saesa, one of the biggest electricity distributors in Chile.

Grupo Saesa will deploy Trilliant’s software and RF communication platforms for AMI, smart grid and IIoT applications that will support the organization in improving its customers’ experience, delivering secure and reliable energy to its customers, and contributing to the company’s sustainability objectives.

Grupo Saesa, through its distributors, Sociedad Austral de Electricidad S.A., Empresa Eléctrica de la Frontera S.A., Compañía Eléctrica Osorno S.A., and Empresa Eléctrica de Aisén S.A., has more than 950,000 customers. It owns and operates more than 62,000 kilometers of transmission and distribution lines nationwide.

“Trilliant brings a global portfolio of experience and a commitment to make our team successful,” said Leonel Martinez, Distribution Executive for Grupo Saesa. “Trilliant’s technologies and experience will deliver real value and improvement to our customers and operations.”

“We are delighted to have this partnership in place with Grupo Saesa,” said Nick Matchett, Managing Director for the Americas at Trilliant. “There are many synergies between our two companies, including our passions for technology innovation and sustainability. Grupo Saesa’s drive to deliver the highest standards and value for its customers is world class. We look forward to enhancing quality, safety and reliability for their customers through this partnership.”

Trilliant works with customers worldwide, from a recent successful Smart Water Metering project in Canada, to its partnership in the U.K. with Manx Utilities to roll out smart electricity meters across the Isle of Man, to its partnership with SAMART to deploy AMI for the Provincial Electricity Authority of Thailand (PEA). Most recently, Trilliant was selected by ESB Networks as one of the suppliers to provide smart meters in support of the rollout of Ireland’s National Smart Metering Programme.
