Itron’s Smart Streetlight Solution to Modernize Utility
Infrastructure and Enable Multiple Smart City Applications
LIBERTY LAKE, Wash.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jan. 31, 2019--
Itron, Inc. (NASDAQ: ITRI), signed a contract with Tampa Electric Co.
(TECO) to deploy Itron’s smart street lighting solution to allow
streetlights to communicate with the utility. In coordination with the
utility’s streetlight replacement program to convert traditional
lighting infrastructure to energy-efficient LED technology, Tampa
Electric will install more than 260,000 Itron smart photocells in the
next five years.
This project will reduce field mobilization and provide immediate
detection of a light outage allowing for a prompt response to support
roadway safety and crime reduction all while benefiting the environment.
Tampa Electric will be able to remotely control streetlight fixtures
using advanced capabilities, such as dynamic dimming. With Itron’s
network, Tampa Electric also has a foundation to enable distribution
automation and smart city applications, such as air quality management
or smart parking.
“We are thrilled to collaborate with Tampa Electric to update the
utility’s lighting,” said Sharelynn Moore, senior vice president of
Networked Solutions at Itron. “The utility will have a foundation to
support multiple smart utility and city applications both today and
tomorrow.”
