When outages do occur, AGR helps utilities detect issues faster, respond more effectively and improve service reliability for customers.”
Advanced Grid Reliability Offerings Help Utilities Reduce Outage Duration and Prevent Grid Failures Before Customers Are Impacted * Advanced Grid Reliability bundles reduce outage duration through faster detection, response and restoration * Early fault detection helps to prevent outages before customers are affected * Existing advanced metering infrastructure becomes a source of grid intelligence without deploying new field sensors LIBERTY LAKE, Wash., Oct. 07, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Itron, Inc. (NASDAQ: ITRI), the intelligent infrastructure provider for modern energy and water management, announced today the expansion of its Advanced Grid Reliability (AGR) solution to include two new solution bundles: Outage Awareness and Fault Prevention.
Now commercially available in North America, the bundles are designed to help utilities prevent outages, restore power faster, deliver more reliable, affordable service to customers and improve grid performance using advanced metering infrastructure (AMI) 2.0 grid edge intelligence. With Grid Edge Intelligence (GEI), the solutions convert rich grid sensing from across the distribution system into actionable operational intelligence.
