Itron, Norgesnett collaborate on Grid Edge computing deployment

Itron (ITRI) is working together with Norwegian energy utility, Norgesnett, on an edge computing deployment in the Nordics with Itron’s Grid Edge Intelligence portfolio, which includes distributed intelligence -enabled smart meters. As part of Norgesnett’s Advanced Metering Infrastructure grid modernization roadmap, the utility will leverage DI to gain greater distribution system visibility and control at the grid edge, from the consumer to the substation. By enabling edge computing, DI lays the foundation for efficient adoption and flexibility of distributed energy resources, enhances grid network awareness, improves decision-making and streamlines real-time grid operations. Norgesnett will deploy 10,000 Itron DI-enabled smart endpoints in the first phase of this project beginning in the first half of 2026. Norgesnett will also have access to the Itron ecosystem, which includes a diverse set of DI applications.
