Itron, PG&E expand collaboration to create more reliable, flexible grid

Pacific Gas and Electric Company (PCG) and Itron (ITRI) are on the next phase of their collaboration to “transform the energy landscape, enhance the customer experience, reduce wildfire risk and create a more reliable and flexible grid,” the company said. “This collaboration is about innovating to improve the lives of California’s families and businesses,” said Mike Delaney, Vice President, Strategy & Innovation, PG&E. “By using grid-edge technology and real-time data, we can make it easier for our customers to charge an EV at home and for us detect potential problems with equipment early, allowing PG&E crews to investigate the issue and prevent outages or wildfires before they happen.”
