Utilities' business models are changing as their networks transition to become smarter. Advanced metering infrastructure is the foundation of the smart grid, providing real-time data to enable more intelligent operational processes. Smart meters allow two-way communication between utilities and customers, integrating distributed energy resources while maintaining reliable and sustainable electricity supply. The smart grid vision involves coordinating generation and demand across an open and interoperable infrastructure.
