One Platform. Every Stage of the Grid Lifecycle.

Volue Network Information & Operations (NIO) is the fully managed SaaS platform built for electricity DSOs — bringing network documentation, planning, maintenance, outage handling, and grid operations together in a single, governed solution. Operated by Volue. Controlled by you.

Electricity distribution grids are becoming more complex, more regulated, and more critical — yet many DSOs still rely on fragmented on-premise systems that are costly to upgrade, difficult to secure, and slow to adapt.

Volue Network Information & Operations (NIO) changes that. Built on decades of proven Nordic DSO expertise — and powered by the capabilities of NETBAS, Volue FASIT, and Volue ADMS — NIO is a single, cloud-managed platform covering the entire grid lifecycle. Planning, maintenance, outage management, network operations: all in one governed environment, delivered as a service.

DSOs get the domain depth they need. Volue takes responsibility for the platform.

Product Features

Cloud & SaaS Enablement

A single, trusted foundation for network data — assets, topology, connectivity, and geography — kept consistent across every workflow. Without a reliable network model, nothing else works. NIO starts here.

Design & Planning

Plan investments, test future scenarios, and analyze capacity — in the same network model used by operations. No exports. No reconciliation. Decisions grounded in governed, live data.

Calculation & Analysis

Run load flow, short-circuit, and fault calculations in the network model to validate investments, pinpoint constraints, and ensure reliable performance.

Network Maintenance

Plan and track maintenance and field work with full traceability to the network model. Office and field teams work from the same data, reducing errors and improving asset lifecycle management.

Integrations

Connect NIO via the Integration Gateway, with out-of-the-box support for CIM, ArcGIS, Power BI, and REST APIs — enabling seamless data flows without custom projects.

Network Operations

Control-room operations in one view — SCADA connectivity, real-time awareness, and safe switching. Help operators respond faster and keep the grid reliable.

Fault & Outage Reporting

Manage faults and outages end-to-end with regulatory-ready documentation built in. FASIT workflow support is available in Norway only.

  • Outages (planned/unplanned): duration, customers, restoration time
  • Classify events by cause and impacted assets
  • Log switching actions for traceability and audit
  • Standardized submissions to regulators/industry schemes
  • Quality-of-supply KPIs for compliance and benchmarking

Cloud & SaaS Enablement

A single, trusted foundation for network data — assets, topology, connectivity, and geography — kept consistent across every workflow. Without a reliable network model, nothing else works. NIO starts here.

DSO expertise

Proven DSO expertise built in — not generic utility software.

One network model

One governed data foundation across planning, maintenance, operations, and reporting — no silos.

Managed SaaS

Volue runs and secures the platform. Your team focuses on the grid.

Workflow scaling

Start with Network Core, then expand — without disruptive migrations or re-contracting.

Security & compliance

Cloud-managed with cybersecurity practices aligned to modern regulatory expectations.

Lower TCO

Predictable SaaS pricing replaces large upgrade projects and bespoke IT.

USE CASES

Move from aging on-premise infrastructure to NIO in phases — starting with Network Core — without disrupting planning or operations. Volue operates, secures, and upgrades the platform. You stay in control of the grid.

Model future load and capacity scenarios on live network data — then hand approved plans straight to operations in the same governed model.

Issue work with full network context and feed completed jobs back into the live asset record — so the network model stays aligned with what’s in the ground.

Bring real-time measurements and live network topology into one view, helping operators respond faster, switch safely, and manage incidents with confidence.

Replace fragile point-to-point integrations with standards-based APIs through the Integration Gateway — maintained by Volue through upgrades.

Log faults against the live network model — assets, switching, restoration — in one workflow. On close, it’s ready for FASIT regulatory reporting. Available in Norway only.
