Brazilian utility chooses Itron
Private Brazilian utility CPFL Energia signed a contract for the supply of 20,000 Itron smart meters, a meter data collection system and support services.
CPFL is installing the meters and expects to complete the implementation of the project in 2013. After installation, the Itron meters will be integrated with CPFL's meter data management and billing system. The unified metering platform will serve as the foundation for future smart grid initiatives.
Itron Inc. is headquartered in Liberty Lake.
