Itron, Inc.
, a global technology company that helps utilities
measure, manage and analyze energy and water, and Tantalus, a leading provider
of Smart Grid communications, today announced they have been selected for an
initial deployment of smart meters and AMI infrastructure for South American
utility Guyana Power and Light (GP&L). This project will be a part of the
Sustainable Operations of the Energy Sector and Improve Quality of Service
(GY-L1037) program which is financed by the Government of Guyana through a
loan from the Inter-American Development Bank and GP&L. The National
Procurement and Tender Administration Board (NPTAB) of Guyana, through
competitive bidding, selected Tantalus and Itron to supply electricity meters
and complementing communications infrastructure based on the technical
advantages and competitive value of the joint solution.
Guyana's deployment is the first international joint project between Tantalus
and Itron since the two companies announced an alliance in late 2011. The
strategic alliance combines Itron's SENTINEL® and CENTRON® electricity meters
as well as its electric, gas and water ERT modules with Tantalus'
comprehensive communications network, TUNet®, the Tantalus Utility Network, to
reach public power utilities in North and South America. Uniting the
capabilities of TUNet with Itron's electricity meters has allowed the
companies to offer a joint solution that accommodates smart metering, demand
response and distribution automation for international markets such as Guyana.
