GE said SaaS is a cloud-based, fee-for-service grid management system that allows small- and mid-market utilities to construct new and interconnected grids.
Under the deal, GE will provide Aberdeen with access to an online customer portal using SaaS solution.
The portal will allow enabling residents to visualize their energy usage and billing information.
The deal also requires GE to offer Aberdeen with a range of services, including electric and water metering for the city’s advanced metering infrastructure (AMI),
GE will also provide asset monitoring and mapping, outage detection and meter data management.
Aberdeen mayor Cecil Belle said: "Our goal is not only to establish the City of Aberdeen as a regional leader in grid modernization, but to provide residents with the power to take control of their resource usage.
"GE offers the expertise and innovative solutions required to make these goals a reality."
GE’s Digital Energy business product line leader of software solutions Todd Jackson said: "Aberdeen was seeking an opportunity to empower customers to become more engaged with their electric and water utilities.
"Through GE’s pre-integrated SaaS, Aberdeen will be able to provide the information end-users need to make more knowledgeable decisions about their resource usage and budgets."
GE’s SaaS technology is currently being utilized by Holly Springs, Mississippi; Electric Cities of Georgia/City of Norcross, the City of Leesburg, Florida, and Skiatook, Oklahoma.
