Landis+Gyr (LDGYY), a global leader in integrated energy management solutions, has signed a significant contract with Withlacoochee River Electric Cooperative (WREC). The agreement involves the deployment of the Gridstream Connect solution for advanced metering infrastructure and grid edge sensing across more than 270,000 services in west-central Florida.
The implementation will include Gridstream AMI meters and Revelo grid edge sensing devices running on an RF Mesh IP network, supplemented by omni-carrier cellular communications for remote areas. This technology will empower WREC to enhance its outage response capabilities, optimize member communication, and improve the overall service of its distribution network.
David Lambert, WREC's General Manager, highlighted the importance of this technology in supporting the cooperative's mission to provide resilient electric service to its members, particularly as the community grows along Florida's Nature Coast. By leveraging high-resolution energy data, WREC aims to automate key processes and respond more swiftly to service disruptions.
WREC will benefit from accessing advanced power quality metrics and detecting grid anomalies, allowing for real-time data sharing and actionable insights. This strategic implementation marks a notable advancement in energy management within the region, aligning with WREC's commitment to delivering value-driven energy services to its members.
