National Grid Plc, the operator of electricity distribution networks in four northeastern U.S. states, will use equipment from Itron Corp. and Cisco Systems Inc. in an expanded power-meter program in Massachusetts.
The full pilot program for the city of Worcester will have 10,000 smart meters, twice the amount used in a field trial last year, Liberty Lake, Washington-based Itron said in a statement today. Cisco will provide communications and networking systems and Itron will supply software to manage and report the data. Bridge Energy Group Inc. will serve as project leader.
