What We Do
Kiwa provides independent technical assessment, inspection, testing, and advisory services for power grid and smart grid infrastructure. Our work focuses on evaluating grid assets, system performance, digital integration, and operational readiness across transmission and distribution networks.
We support organizations in understanding how physical infrastructure, digital systems, and operational processes interact, helping identify risks related to reliability, safety, interoperability, and compliance throughout the grid lifecycle.
Why This Matters
Power grids are critical national infrastructure with little tolerance for failure. Increasing electrification, decentralized generation, and digitalization introduce new technical and operational risks that can affect grid stability and public safety. Independent expertise helps grid operators manage complexity, validate system performance, and demonstrate compliance with evolving regulatory and technical requirements.
Without objective evaluation, vulnerabilities in grid infrastructure or control systems may remain undetected, increasing the risk of outages, cyber incidents, or long-term performance degradation.
