Grid Modernization , Advanced Metering Infrastructure

Utilities are under pressure to deliver reliable and cost-effective power in the face of rising load demand and DER growth with infrastructure that is aging in critical areas of the grid.  Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI) has emerged as a key component for modern grid operations, offering visibility and insights in a rapidly changing energy landscape. This panel brings together industry leaders from Honeywell, SECO, and Toronto Hydro to share their AMI solution journeys and the positive impact it’s having on operations.

Attendees will gain insights into how these organizations are leveraging data to unlock operational efficiencies, improve grid resiliency, and enhance customer engagement. The discussion will explore practical approaches to integrating AMI systems into data platforms, enabling utilities to transition from reactive to predictive operations.

Key takeaways include:

  • Making the case for AMI investment and stakeholder alignment
    Proven strategies for successful deployment 
    Network tradeoffs between cellular and mesh
  • Harnessing grid analytics to optimize asset performance and operational workflows
  • Real-world examples of how data-driven decisions strengthen grid reliability & investment decisions
