The latest generation of advanced metering delivers a wealth of data from the grid edge to unlock a world of opportunities for the utility of the future. From electric vehicle (EV) detection to distributed energy resources (DER) support, to customer load disaggregation, utilities are starting to explore the many innovations that the next generation of advanced metering infrastructure (AMI) brings to improve operations and the customer experience.
