Itron at DISTRIBUTECH 2022

May 04, 2022

Addressing today’s energy, water and city service challenges isn’t easy—but solving them isn’t insurmountable either. Equipped with the right intelligence, in the right places throughout the delivery system, we can explore every possibility and deploy the right solutions to help you succeed as our industry continues to transform.

From detecting new EV assets on the grid and potential transformer overloading issues to creating vibrant, sustainable smart cities and a grid that’s resilient and ready to bounce back after a disaster, more intelligence opens the door to more possibilities. To learn more, visit us in booth 2403 at DISTRIBUTECH 2022, the utility industry’s leading transmission and distribution conference and exhibition on May 23-25 in Dallas, Texas.

After more than two years of virtual meetings and events, I am excited to see you in person!  

While you’re there, be sure to check out the Itron Experience: a demonstration of our low-voltage grid management solutions. See how these solutions can provide a comprehensive insight into the least visible part of the distribution system—and do so in the most cost-effective way possible, providing visibility both in front of and behind the meter.

  • Grid Management

  • Next Gen Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI)

  • Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT)/Intelligent Connectivity
