Ameren Missouri selects Landis+Gyr to support Smart Meter Project
Landis+Gyr announced Monday it reached an agreement to support Ameren Missouri’s Smart Meter Project with the deployment of 1.4 million advanced meters and a utility IoT network.
Ameren Missouri will deploy Landis+Gyr’s Gridstream Connect solution. The deployment will include 1.27 million advanced electricity meters and 130,000 gas meters. The contract also includes an extension of Landis+Gyr’s meter data management system (MDMS) and Command Center head-end system. Additionally, the agreement also includes an extension of managed services provided by Landis+Gyr that cover network monitoring and maintenance.
“The new technology not only helps grid resiliency and efficiency, it provides a platform for customers to make informed energy management decisions,” Jeff Esserman, Ameren Missouri’s director of Smart Meter Program Strategy and Implementation, said. “Updating metering and networking infrastructure is a significant part of Ameren’s Missouri’s Smart Energy Plan to transform and modernize the energy grid for future generations, as well as the way customers receive and consume energy. Our plan creates a smarter, stronger and more integrated system that offers more energy options while enabling more control for our customers.”
Network deployment is scheduled to begin in January 2020.
