Itron expands grid edge intelligence deployment with Pacific Gas and Electric Company
What happened
Itron and Pacific Gas and Electric Company are advancing grid edge intelligence to improve grid reliability and reduce wildfire risk in California communities. The companies are deploying thousands of Itron grid edge sensing endpoints in high fire-risk areas of PG&E's service territory. This solution uses measured observations and real-time event detection to detect, classify, and pinpoint potential faults across medium-voltage and low-voltage circuits.
