To invest a little more directly in smart grid technology, look no further than Itron Inc. (NASDAQ: ITRI). Its smart meters not only cover electricity, but water and natural gas monitoring as well.
Itron has rolled out out a smart grid project called Itron Total Services, which can be integrated into existing infrastructures. The service suite will offer data collection and analysys which can be shown at the individual, district, and system levels using Itron's already widely-used technologies.
The system is designed to put all the smart grid work on Itron: utilities will pay a subscription to have the company's monitors installed, and Itron will work with the data, reporting back to the utility with ways to improve efficiency and operations.
It's a simple way to get utilities to bring in more smart grid tech without having to make major business or infrastructure changes.
Itron's OpenWay Riva platform uses meters and communication chips to get information to the utilities in real time. Duke Energy's Coalition of the Willing initiative already uses this system. In 2017, Itron completed its acquisition of private company Comverge, further expanding its Internet of Things connectivity and smart utility customer base. Itron's partnership with Bsquare will further enhance OpenWay Riva's offering by making the system's integration that much smoother.
Itron itself is a smaller company, founded in 1977 to find more accurate ways to read energy meters. Now, the company has operations in over 100 countries including China, Australia, India, Japan, Germany, the U.S., the UK, and more. Its market cap at the time of writing is $2.8 billion. |
