Smart Grid
Overview
Smart grid technology is transforming the relationship between utilities and consumers as information creates awareness and a better understanding of water and energy usage and opportunities for conservation. This understanding gives consumers the tools they need to make educated decisions on their energy use, which can lower bills and reduce impact on the environment.
Sensus is a vital partner in this effort, because we provide innovative smart grid solutions that help utilities around the world conserve water and energy. We've been successful by consistently providing the latest and best technologies to our customers, including smart grid systems that enable two-way communication between electric, gas and water utilities and their own customers.
A primary driver of Sensus innovation is the delivery of the FlexNetâ„¢ communications network, which combines with Sensus electricity smart meters and Distribution Automation devices to provide utilities with a complete smart grid solution.
