Abstract
Electricity is vital and essential in the life of modern societies. Delivering electricity with high level of quality and availability becomes a priority challenge. Telecommunication availability is one of the most significant key factors for success in implementing a modern and smart distribution system.The development of telecommunications with mobile phones have been changing the lives in developing countries more than any other invention before. Mobile phones provide a wide variety of services with some new needs and usages specific to emerging countries like mobile money.Thus, operators' telecommunications networks have an important role to play in the efficient management of electricity networks and the transition towards smart grid, particularly for developing countries.As a vivid illustration this paper discusses the case study of the distribution automation of Senegalese power grid with GPRS / 3G conducted during the year 2018.
