Itron teams with Lightwell on Belgian grid operator’s Smart Street solution

Itron announced that it is collaborating with Lightwell, who creates sustainable public lighting through LED technology, to provide Fluvius, the largest Belgian grid operator and multi-utility company, with Itron’s smart street lighting solution, which includes its streetlight controls, intelligent connectivity and central management software. To reduce Co2 emissions and energy consumption, Fluvius is striving to upgrade more than 1 million streetlamps with LED technology by 2028. Beyond the energy savings from the LED technology, Itron’s smart street lighting solution will allow Fluvius to seamlessly and remotely configure the system to further reduce energy consumption and increase operational efficiencies. Included in the project, Lightwell’s Luxis streetlight luminaires will be managed via Itron’s Streetlight.Vision software application, an industry-leading smart cities central management solution. Benefits of Itron’s SLV solution include automated asset management, flexible scheduling, rapid failure detection and utility-grade metering data. Fluvius can improve energy efficiencies in all 300 Flemish municipalities.
