The world is depending on increased electrification to achieve decarbonization goals. In fact, the Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI) estimates that electricity’s share of end-use energy could reach 60% by 2050. As this “electrify everything” movement surges on, the need for a resilient grid escalates.
But that’s a challenge — American grids are very old, and extreme weather and unprecedented volume create added issues for utilities. And while smart meters provide consumer usage data, these metrics can’t be leveraged to gain insights on transformer health. Utilities need a low-cost network with sophisticated sensors that deliver real-time metrics. What game-changing technology can utility companies rely on to make grids smarter, reduce their costs and drive value? Download this playbook to learn more, including:
