North West

CLIQ helps to keep power flowing to North West England

From Upgrading security at Electricity North West Limited presents quite a challenge. The company owns 57,000 kilometres of overhead lines and underground cables, as well as 34,000 transformers, in urban and remote rural locations across North West England. The company sought a solution to control access at its sites, which are spread across urban and remote rural locations.

  • A locking solution which enables Electricity North West Limited to control keys more easily
