Elektro Ljubljana is plowing an energy digital transformation
The strategy and direction with the desire to balance between technological advancement and network stability has brought a transition to data management.
As part of the Digit White project, backed down in the Recovery and Resistance Plan, is Elektro Ljubljana made a comprehensive digital transformation that captured both technological and organizational and cultural changes. The transformation was not only a project itself, but also brought a new approach where data represent a strategic means, an important basis for deciding, planning and implementing key processes.
The heart of the transformation is the data core that is the first of its kind in the Slovenian electricity space, as it combines technical (measurements, equipment, network operation) and business and financial data (investments, costs, planning, capacities). The single platform thus allows you to connect data currents, drives automation, introduces predictive analytics and allows you to digitally conduct processes at all levels of business.

“The foundation of the platform is the PAZP – the platform for the management of landmarks and analytics. It is an advanced integration and analytical environment that connects a number of data resources in almost real time and converts it into logical, process -related information, indicators, visualization and analysis, ”she said Maja SavinekDigit Bela project manager.
The platform provides a comprehensive overview of investments, funds spending, project implementation and network capacity, while at the same time the basis for predictive models of monitoring efficiency and operational risks. It develops and uses analytical solutions that support key processes, from voltage profiles and reliability of supply to fieldwork.
Platform intended for different user profiles
These tools are not only intended for analysts, they are also used by engineering teams, operational staff, project managers and strategic management. Analytics thus becomes a normal part of decision-making, accessible to all who make, implement or plan, which strengthens internal innovation, reduces IT dependence and promotes responsiveness.
The platform allows employees to be able to prepare analyzes and reports by their own customs. The digital unit of connecting – a DEP that takes care of connecting to data from other systems at both national and European levels, plays an important role. In this way, the company actively participates in international research projects and provides open data services for scientific and industrial partners.
With the increasing digitization and openness of data, the importance of cyber security is also increasing. Elektro Ljubljana As a company of critical infrastructure, strict security protocols, from access control and audit traceability to systems protection and legislation compliance. All solutions are supported by mechanisms that provide safe, reliable and trusted data use.
POVP has become a « operational compass » of the company
The PAZP is no longer just a tool, but it has become a « operational compass » of a company that connects data, people and decisions. Among the most important functions are the detection of irregularities, reports for regulators and control panels for strategic management.
Maja Savinek He adds: “The key step in the transformation is the introduction of an integrated investment management system – AIP (AIP). This represents not only the introduction of a new system, but also a change in thinking. The planning, evaluation and implementation of investments are based on measurable data, risk analyzes and the coordination of technical and financial aspects. AIP connects real data planning and allows the dynamic investment adjustment according to available resources and strategic priorities. «
There are also links to functions such as financial management, implementation control, regulatory reporting and coordination with energy policies. It is a tool that strengthens the system’s resistance and provides greater responsiveness in crisis. In the context of the transformation, the company also established a flexibility system that enables end users to participate in active network management. The system includes actual measurements, forecasts and weather.
Construction of foundations for the future
With the development of open data Elektro Ljubljana It builds the foundations for the future in which artificial intelligence, mechanical learning and cooperation with the research community will become an integral part of energy optimization. Available, quality data open the door to new network management models, to adapt consumption and to develop personalized energy services. “The transformation was designed and performed independently, with its own vision, without waiting for uniform system solutions. In doing so, the company has shown that the public system can also be technologically advanced, organizationally flexible and strategically oriented, ”the satisfaction does not hide Maja Savinek.
At the same time, the project manager Digit Bela also highlighted the fact that the project has raised the digital literacy of employees. These are no longer just users today, but are actively involved in finding digital solutions. “Knowledge, experience and commitment of people are becoming as crucial as the technology itself. Elektro Ljubljana It does not follow the digital transformation, but creates it. This is not a story of just one project, but a comprehensive transformation of a company where technology, data, processes and culture are combined into a common vision. The company is thus established as an example of good practice – as an organization that successfully links the industrial tradition, digital ambition and responsibility to future generations, ”she concluded Maja Savinek.
