Itron confirms leadership position,
successfully delivering more than 1 million meters in first phase
of smart meter deployment
Itron, Inc. (NASDAQ:ITRI), a world-leading technology and
services company dedicated to the resourceful use of energy and
water, announced today that it has been selected as a key supplier
of 4.6 million G3 Linky smart meters for the second phase of the
program, which will begin in early 2017 and will run through 2018.
Itron has also delivered 1.5 million Linky smart meters to Enedis
(formerly ERDF), an electricity distribution network operator in
France, for the first phase of the program.
Itron has been a leading partner in the Linky program from the
beginning, including research and development efforts and the pilot
project from 2008 to 2010. Supported by the local team working in
close collaboration with Enedis, the meters are manufactured in
Itron’s Chasseneuil, France facility.
“Itron’s commitment to quality and enthusiastic approach to the
partnership have been key factors in all of our projects with
Enedis. Our continued involvement and leadership role in this
visionary program illustrates the confidence Enedis has in Itron
and our high-quality, high-performing smart meters as well as our
ability to deliver on schedule,” said Mark de Vere White, president
of Itron’s electricity business line. “Itron is proud to be a part
of the Linky program and to help Enedis realize its vision of a
digital revolution with the deployment of smart grid technology in
France.”
About the Linky Program
The Linky meter is the latest generation of electrical meters
installed by Enedis. It is referred to as “communicating” because
it allows information to be transmitted remotely. It will replace
all electricity meters in France by 2021 for all private households
(generally from 3 to 9 kVA), businesses (generally from 18 to 36
kVA) and local authorities (from 3 to 36 kVA).
