Strict economic regulation of the DSOs （distribution system operators）, forces them to search for more efficient work processes and improved technical solutions. The main challenges for network companies today are implementing new technologies and become more efficient in every part of the asset management. The work processes must be optimized and the right projects must be prioritized for reinvestment. The purpose of this paper is to give insight into some of the challenges electric distribution companies are facing today. This paper is based on experiences from NTE Nett AS--an electric distribution company in the middle of Norway. The paper also describes some of the measures that have been done in NTE Nett and what people believe will be the situation in the future.展开更多
