Itron Total Outcomes and smart cellular
solution to provide foundation for “CenHub Insights+” program
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 signed a contract with Central
Hudson Gas & Electric Corporation (Central Hudson), a
transmission and distribution energy company and subsidiary of
Fortis, Inc. that serves approximately 300,000 electric and 79,000
natural gas customers in eight counties of New York State’s
Mid-Hudson Valley. Central Hudson will utilize Itron’s managed
services offering, Itron Total Outcomes, with Itron’s cellular
solution to support the energy company’s “CenHub Insights+”
program. The program aims to empower Central Hudson customers to
make informed decisions about their energy usage. The program is a
part of the Reforming the Energy Vision, a regulatory initiative
launched by the State of New York Public Service Commission as part
of New York Governor Cuomo’s comprehensive energy strategy.
With Itron Total Outcomes, the company’s experts will run,
manage and maintain Itron’s OpenWay 4G LTE metering solution for
Central Hudson, simplifying the deployment of the technology while
lowering the total cost of ownership for the energy company. Itron
will collect, manage and deliver detailed energy usage information
to customers participating in the CenHub Insights+ program for
presentment within CenHub MyAccount, a secure web portal. The
detailed information will help increase customers’ awareness of
their energy usage encouraging them to be more energy efficient and
save money. By utilizing Itron Total Outcomes, Central Hudson can
easily and cost-effectively add new customers to the program thanks
to the “drop-in” flexibility of Itron’s 4G LTE smart metering
solution for strategic deployments and opt-in customer
programs.
“Working with Itron makes it simple and easy to provide value to
our customers. With Itron Total Outcomes, we can take advantage of
Itron’s experienced team to manage the day-to-day operations of the
smart cellular solution for our CenHub Insights+ program. This
enables us to focus on the program and create new business value
for our customers,” said Joseph Hally, manager of energy
transformation and solutions at Central Hudson. “We look forward to
providing our customers with greater insight into their energy
consumption so they can make more informed decisions about their
usage.”
“Itron’s goal is to make success as easy as possible for our
customers. With Itron Total Outcomes and our smart cellular
solution, we are enabling Central Hudson to easily implement its
consumer engagement program and accelerate time to value,” said
