Edge Zero announces US distribution agreement with Wesco International to expand grid visibility solutions

Edge Zero, a leading provider of low-voltage electricity network monitoring solutions, is pleased to announce a new distribution relationship with Wesco (NYSE: WCC), a trusted supplier of utility technology solutions. This collaboration will enhance the availability of Edge Zero’s real-time grid monitoring technology through Wesco’s distribution network, enabling utilities to improve situational awareness, grid resilience and asset performance.

Wesco will distribute Edge Zero’s EdgeSensor suite of monitors and EdgeConnected™ platform, which together provide real-time insights into grid health, transformer utilisation and power quality. These solutions complement Wesco’s existing utility technology portfolio including advanced metering infrastructure (AMI), distribution automation and utility communication networks, offering customers a comprehensive approach to grid modernisation.

“As utilities face challenges with grid resilience, aging infrastructure and growing electrification demands, our collaboration with Wesco will provide them greater access to cutting-edge monitoring and optimisation tools,” said Richard McIndoe, Chairman and CEO of Edge Zero. “Together, we are empowering utilities to proactively manage network asset health, mitigate outages and support the integration of distributed energy resources (DERs) with real-time data.”

The Wesco Utility and Broadband Solutions business unit ensures that utilities have access to a comprehensive range of products and services to meet their evolving grid modernisation needs. Wesco views Edge Zero’s solutions as key components in equipping their customers with advanced grid intelligence tools that can deliver many of the benefits of grid monitoring for those who haven’t deployed an AMI system or to integrate seamlessly with existing AMI and grid management systems.

Patrick Gorman, Senior Vice President and General Manager, Wesco Utility, commented, “Wesco is committed to delivering best-in-class technology solutions that help utilities enhance grid resilience and operational efficiency. Edge Zero’s real-time monitoring solutions are a natural fit within our portfolio, equipping utilities with the visibility they need to optimise their networks and respond proactively to grid challenges.”

Edge Zero’s grid monitoring solutions have already been successfully deployed by utilities across North America, improving operational efficiency and mitigating risks of grid downtime. With Wesco’s extensive distribution reach and expertise in utility technology, this collaboration will accelerate the adoption of Edge Zero’s solutions, supporting utilities in their digital transformation and reliable service delivery initiatives.
