This panel will feature leaders from PG&E, Xcel Energy, and TECO Energy in a lively roundtable discussion of the specific use cases and contexts that are driving their respective AMI 2.0 deployment strategies – ranging from customer safety to grid connectivity models to distribution infrastructure deferral. The panel will explore how these use cases are linked back to corporate objectives, regulatory requirements, innovation initiatives, and technology roadmaps, and how AMI 2.0 technologies address each of these foundational use cases.
