Cities and utilities around the globe continue to face challenges related to climate disruption, decarbonization, consumer expectations, aging infrastructure, cybersecurity, the energy requirements of accelerating adoption of electric vehicles (EVs) and more. At this year’s Itron Inspire, the Knowledge Conference exhibition hall was teaming with a variety of Itron and partner solutions to both address these challenges and turn them into opportunities. Although we can’t foresee everything the future holds, we do know what cities and utilities are up against today and we understand the complexities that come with modernizing critical infrastructure. Itron Inspire may be over, but the intelligence and possibilities continue.
