Natacha Baroni, Head of Energy Product Marketing at T-Mobile for Business
The first generation of advanced metering infrastructure (AMI) came into its own in the first decade of the 21st century. The U.S. Department of Energy described AMI as "an integrated system of smart meters, communications networks and data management systems that enables automated, two-way communication between a smart meter and a utility." Later systems included sensors that collect data like voltage, temperature, and current for insight into operations.
Today, AMI installations make up just over two-thirds of total meter, according to the American Public Power Association. But as the original smart meters reach end of life, utilities are tackling new challenges like distributed energy resources (DERs), decarbonization, and grid reliability.
The energy industry recognizes the need for 2nd generation smart meters, AMI 2.0, with advanced energy metering capabilities that upgrade how you and your customers monitor, manage, and control energy use.
