From Jakarta’s glittering glass towers—which seem to grow as fast as rattan—to remote fishing villages with no plumbing and electricity, Indonesia is a country of contrasts. Spread across some 18,000 islands—only half of which have been named—its megacities and lush green forests are home to some 255 million people, making it the fourth most populous country in the world after India, China and the United States.

August 02, 2016
There is plenty of uncertainty in Brussels this summer, the home to a number of European Union institutions. But one safe bet in the Belgian metropolis is that the lights will stay on.
That’s because the city’s electrical grid is using the Industrial Internet to get smarter. Sibelga, the company that operates the only distribution network in Brussels, will soon adopt GE’s PowerOn Advantage, a sophisticated software solution that controls electricity flows between the traditional grid and the consumer. The software runs on Predix, GE’s data and analytics platform.

By Jaiden Coonan
Two hours and fifty-four minutes. That’s how long it took a plane to fly from Yangon, Myanmar to Singapore in August 2015. A short flight by some standards, it was barely long enough to watch a movie or read a magazine. Although it may not seem like much, this flight was a historic moment for Myanmar.

Leading the Digital Transformation of the Power Industry

May 11, 2016
The need for power will never end.
ASEAN is home to over 600 million people and is one of the fastest growing economic regions in the world. With a projected growth of 4 to 6 per cent in the coming years, how can ASEAN grow without having the proper energy infrastructure?

However, the power industry faces a complex set of challenges – it needs to extend electricity access, provide sufficient power to support existing grid infrastructure, ensure environmental sustainability and improve efficiency across an increasingly multi-dimensional energy value chain.
