Itron (ITRI) AMI Solution Used by BREB to Reform Electric Grid
Read MoreHide Full Article
Itron (ITRI - Free Report) recently announced its association with the Bangladesh Rural Electrification Board (“BREB”), a government body that is the leading power supplier in Bangladesh. By integrating BREB's distribution system with ITRI’s cutting-edge technology, the initiative is likely to promote more sustainable development in the country.
The adoption of Itron’s Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI) will lead to a more efficient management of electricity distribution by the BREB. AMI allows customers to gain better insights into their energy consumption patterns, allowing them to have greater control over their energy usage.
BREB will work with ITRI’s channel partner SQ Wire and Cable to deploy 500,000 smart pre-payment metering devices with Itron network interface cards. This facilitates automated meter reading along with better billing accuracy. Apart from this, “time-of-use tariffs” and precise data on energy usage can lead to increased conservation efforts and cost savings for consumers.
Deployment of the AMI solution will make the electric grid resilient, allowing BREB to link its users’ smart home devices with Itron’s AMI solution. Advanced data analytics and distribution network visibility of the AMI solution will aid BREB to streamline infrastructure investments, as well as improve outage management and incorporate more renewable energy sources into its power grid.
The implementation of AMI solution also comprises Itron’s premium UtilityIQ headend software suite, which aids in comprehensive data management and analysis.
ITRI cited that its alliance with BREB will empower the latter to address global concerns such as energy access and energy security. Also, the deployment of AMI will allow BREB to efficiently manage its electric grid.
Headquartered in Liberty Lake, WA, Itron is a global provider of energy, water, smart city, IIoT and intelligent infrastructure services. This technology and services company’s solutions help utilities and cities manage resources more efficiently and effectively.
In the last reported quarter, its revenues totaled $577.2 million, beating the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 1.1%. The top line improved 23% year over year, owing to strong operational execution and easing of supply-chain issues.
The stock has gained 68.7% over the past year compared with the industry’s rise of 17.7%
