Under the $45m contract, LG CNS, in consortium with Eltel Networks, Eltel Networks Olsztyn and WorldIT Systems, will supply 330,000 smart meters to Tauron Dystrybucja.
LG CNS will commence project work in September 2014 to implement the AMI system for 330,000 households in Wroclaw as well as the neighboring areas in southwestern Poland.
Poland should implement the AMI system for more than 80% of all households by 2020 in order to save energy, according to the EU Mandate 2020.
By 2020, Poland will implement the AMI system for approximately 16 million households in phases.
A head-end system will be developed by LG CNS to assess the data collected from the AMI system until April 2017.
LG CNS Smart Green Business Unit vice president Jiseob Kim said: "This contract is a smart grid construction business at a country-level that LG CNS has won for the first time and is the stepping stone to enter the EU market.
"By successfully carrying out this business, we will accelerate our entry into the EU energy management market and in the long run, will become a world-class energy management company that represents Korea."
