For several years in France, there has been a significant increase in demand for Itron, Inc.'s smart water management solutions. Like many European countries, France has an outdated water network. To address this, the country recently began implementing solutions to prevent non-revenue water losses. Check out the story in Techniques de l'Ingénieur and learn how Itron's solutions can help France and other European countries in their transition to improved water management. #SmartMeters #France #Network #Innovation

Our energy systems are undergoing a fundamental transformation. Interested in unlocking grid flexibility to enhance grid capacity and efficiency? Check out this insightful blog by my colleague Ralf Korntner! With the rise of intermittent and distributed #energy resources, DSOs need dynamic, data-driven planning and operations to tackle the challenges of the #energytransition. Flexibility management is key to optimizing grid utilization and avoiding costly infrastructure investments on the journey to #netzero. Read the blog now and share your thoughts! https://sie.ag/6JRSLj

McKinsey’s report highlights 25 key challenges to achieving net-zero, with only 10% of needed infrastructure in place. Major obstacles remain in scaling renewable energy, hydrogen, and carbon capture. Strategic questions for leaders: 1. How can we rapidly deploy existing technologies? 2. Where are the biggest bottlenecks in scaling efforts? 3. How can innovation and partnerships drive progress in the hardest areas? #EnergyTransition #Sustainability #NetZero #StrategicLeadership

The shift to electrified transportation is underway and #Utilities are working to ensure the grid can handle the increased demand needed to charge electric vehicles (EVs) as well as supporting demands on the grid in general such as the accelerating growth of data centers. To help manage the growing demand for EV charging, there are analytics-driven approaches, like Itron, Inc.'s distributed intelligence (DI) solution. Utilities can get real-time insight into EV charging patterns and control out to the grid edge, which is crucial to preventing grid overloads. #GridEdge #EVs One of our experts, Nick Tumilowicz, director of distributed energy management at Itron, shares insights in this T&D World article:

As we usher in 2025, I reflected on 2024 and what a remarkable year it was—not just for Itron, Inc., but for #Utilities and the industries we serve. I’m excited to be part of a team that’s driving positive change and helping create a more #Resourceful world.

What if the key to unlocking global prosperity and equity lies in a simple, often taken-for-granted resource: access to reliable and sustainable energy? Ensuring access to reliable and sustainable power is a personal mission for me. My journey in the energy sector has been driven by a deep commitment to transforming lives through improved energy solutions. It's not just about turning on lights; it's about powering the nation (education, healthcare, and economic growth). The other day, I was chatting with a friend and she asked why I am so passionate about energy? "Because I've seen what it can do," I replied. "When I first started working with the electricity distribution company, I visited a rural area that had just gotten reliable power. Schools were staying open longer, clinics could refrigerate vaccines, and local businesses were starting to thrive. It wasn't just about convenience—it was about real, tangible improvements in people’s lives." She said, "But isn't energy just one piece of the puzzle?" "Absolutely," I said. "But it's a critical piece. Without reliable energy, how do you run a hospital? How do you support schools or build infrastructure? It's foundational. And if we do it sustainably, we can protect our planet at the same time. That's why I'm so focused on promoting renewable energy and ensuring it’s accessible to everyone." She looked thoughtful, "So, it's about more than just turning on the lights." "Exactly," I smiled. "It's about powering the future." It’s about building a fair future where everyone has the chance to thrive. This means fighting for policies that support clean energy, educating people about energy efficiency, and making sure that the benefits of new energy technologies reach everyone.  Thankfully,organisations such as Rural Electrification Agency of Nigeria Sustainable Energy for All (SEforALL) Nigeria's Energy Transition Plan (ETP) UEF (Universal Energy Facility) and others are already championing this journey. Have a restful weekend and do something that energizes the future. #EnergyAccess #EnergyAccessToAll #Sustainability #GlobalGoals #RenewableEnergy

Strategies may change, yet the level and quality of a company's disclosure remains a significant indicator of management quality. At Enel North America, we are committed to integrate #sustainability into everything we do - and maintain an open dialogue with our main stakeholders.   We recently completed our first #doublemateriality assessment, strengthening our approach to managing material issues related to impacts, risks and opportunities of our value-chain. The results and our progress are now published in our 2023 Year in Review. We've also (re)designed our sustainability approach around four focus areas: ⚡ Our products and solutions, focused on clean energy and flexibility, enabling our customers to achieve their decarbonization goals, 🌿 Environmental sustainability, a core, global pillar, to protect biodiversity and provide ecosystem services, while maintaining progress towards our science-based climate targets, 🏫 People and communities, delivering energy solutions and social investments that build healthy and thriving communities, and 🔁 Responsible governance, our system of corporate governance that provides a foundational framework for efficient, responsible and scalable management.   I invite you to engage with us: https://lnkd.in/gKNKu_x3

Without a competitive cost-base, how can your business compete? Demand Response is a great way for large energy users to reduce their large energy bills. Your competitors are doing it. Are you? 🤔

Collaborative Framework on Green Hydrogen (CFGH) Meetings bt International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA) provides insights into the participation and contributions of various countries during the CFGH meetings. Some action by country took my attention as #my general words as below: #Canada's proactive steps in establishing working groups and offering investment tax credits showcase a strong commitment to fostering clean hydrogen production and advancing clean technology manufacturing. #Germany and the #UnitedArabEmirates' co-facilitation of the CFGH meetings highlights their leadership in promoting international dialogue and cooperation on green hydrogen initiatives. #Japan, the #RepublicofKorea, and #Australia's early adoption of hydrogen strategies set a positive example for other nations, encouraging the global community to accelerate the transition towards green hydrogen technologies. The diverse range of interventions and priorities shared by countries like #Germany, #theUnitedStates, #China, and #Portugal at the 2023 CFGH meetings underscores the widespread interest and engagement in driving green hydrogen deployment on a global scale. The collaborative efforts of countries such as #Austria, #Chile, and #Sweden in sharing updates on policy priorities and ongoing projects at the CFGH meetings demonstrate a collective commitment to advancing the green hydrogen agenda and addressing common challenges. #letsdoittogether #cooperation #energytransition #reinhausen

Climate change is real, and is widely perceived as the most serious threat to the world’s future. Climate change needs to be reported, made visible and discussed to drive and inspire us to taking action. But how can we talk about such an alarming subject, that seems to be growing steadily worse, without the “bad news syndrome” kicking in? Can we address the severity of the crisis while remaining hopeful about the future? Can we increase the public’s interest and appetite for climate news, while overcoming misinformation? We'll discuss this on 24 September with A-list experts such as Alexandra Borchardt, Syed Nazakat, Angelika Pullen, Ulrik Haagerup, Lagipoiva Dr. Cherelle Jackson, Kris De Meyer, Tom Brookes, Sven EGENTER, Emilia Díaz-Struck, Mitali Mukherjee, Shereen Daver, Lars Tallert, Ivan Couronne and Vattenfalls Åsa Jamal! I’m looking forward to co-moderate this important, interactive event together with Mark Lee Hunter, and you could be there too! Online participation is free, just go to https://lnkd.in/e8-puJTF for more information and to sign up. Hope to see you there! #climatechange #climatechangecommunication #communicationevent #vattenfall
