DISTRIBUTION INTELLIGENCE FOR AFRICAN GRIDS
Every unit of energy accounted for.
AMPERE traces energy from the bulk supply point to collected revenue — finding where it is lost, which assets are failing, and what to fix first.
01 / THE CHALLENGE
Two structural problems. One network. One data foundation.
Distribution utilities lose a quarter to a third of input energy between the bulk supply point and collected revenue, while thousands of network assets operate with no condition visibility. Both problems are visible in the same data — once that data is integrated.
Sustained revenue loss
Technical, commercial and collection losses remain materially above regulatory benchmarks. Aggregate figures exist; the feeder- and transformer-level attribution needed to act does not.
Under-monitored infrastructure
Transformers and feeders fail without warning. Maintenance is reactive, and capital is allocated on age and judgement rather than measured condition.
One platform. Three pillars.
The pillars run in sequence on one data foundation: find the loss, recover it, then stop it from returning.
Loss Analytics
Separate technical, commercial and collection losses, then localise them to feeder and transformer level with continuous energy-balance analytics.
- Transformer-level energy balance
- Loss decomposition by category
- Anomaly detection on consumption
- Feeder loss league tables
Revenue Assurance
Reconcile consumption, billing and payment. Detect unbilled consumption and tampering, and work each case to a measured recovery.
- Risk-scored anomaly queue
- Evidence-backed case files
- Investigation workflow tracking
- Verified recovery measurement
Infrastructure Health
Monitor asset condition continuously, predict failures before they occur, and prioritise capital where measured risk is highest.
- Continuous condition monitoring
- Failure prediction windows
- Condition-based maintenance
- Benefit-ranked capital plans
03 / IN THE PLATFORM
From data to field action.
One chain of custody: a district loss number becomes a ranked worklist, a case file, then a work order. Screens below use sample data.
Losses become cases.
Transformer-level energy balance turns a district loss number into a ranked worklist. Analysts drill from district to feeder to distribution transformer, and every anomaly carries the evidence needed to act.
Cases become recoveries.
Field teams receive evidence-backed case files with risk scores and estimated exposure. Outcomes are tracked to verified closure, so recovered revenue is measured rather than assumed.
Failures become schedules.
Condition-based maintenance replaces calendar cycles. Health scoring and failure prediction put crews on the right transformer before it fails, and capital goes where measured risk is highest.
04 / ARCHITECTURE
Integrates with what utilities already run.
No meter replacement programme and no rip-and-replace. AMPERE reads the systems already in place over standard interfaces, and writes back into the tools crews and finance already use.
05 / GOVERNANCE
Built for regulated environments.
Four commitments, each with the mechanism that enforces it. Data ownership is contractual, not a policy statement.
Utility data stays utility property
Contractually, at all times. The utility retains full ownership of its operational data, including anything derived from it.
In-country data residency
Supported where required, including under local data protection law such as Ghana's Data Protection Act, 2012.
Role-based access & audit logging
Every view and action is permissioned by role and recorded in an immutable audit log.
Independent measurement & verification
Outcomes are verified against agreed baselines rather than reported by the platform alone.
06 / THE COMPANY BEHIND AMPERE
Gridline Partners
AMPERE is built by Gridline Partners, an African investment and technology partner for utilities and operators modernising electricity distribution. The firm builds the platforms that give a network operator control over its own infrastructure, and structures the capital and delivery partnerships that make modernisation programmes bankable and buildable.
Distribution networks carry more load than they were built for, on records that no longer describe them. Gridline works alongside utilities from diagnostic through tranched delivery to independently verified outcomes — with utility data remaining utility property, contractually, at all times.
