Learn how Duke Energy and National Grid are advancing their smart grid with AMI 2.0-capable meters, leveraging their existing networks and Wi-SUN interoperability standards to integrate multiple vendors, enhance energy management, and drive greater operational efficiency.

This session will explore how interoperability is not just a technical preference but a strategic imperative for the electro-industry. By enabling utilities to foster a supply chain-secure ecosystem, open standards like Wi-SUN allow for accelerated innovation, reduced vendor lock-in, and more flexible deployment of emerging technologies. As utilities prepare for the next wave of distributed energy resources, grid-edge intelligence, and consumer-centric services, flexible AMI 2.0 becomes the foundation for scalable solutions that align with clean energy and resilience goals.

Panelists will discuss real-world deployment strategies, procurement lessons, and how interoperability enhances system integration.
