EnergyAxis provides two-way communication for electric, water and gas meters. Its deployment enables the municipal utility to enhance its outage management and distribution grid monitoring and control.
The project will help OUC, which serves nearly 225,000 customers, complete its conversion to a completely digital meter network.
OUC Customer & Sustainable Services VP Byron Knibbs stated, "We have worked with Elster throughout our AMI deployment, and Elster’s turnkey solutions continue to answer our needs and elevate our level of service to our customers."
Commenting on the development, Elster Solutions president Ed Myszka said, "As a long-term Elster partner and an early adopter of EnergyAxis, OUC demonstrates the drive of many municipal utilities to deploy innovative smart grid technologies that can enhance services to its customers."
