We Energies Expands AMI Deployment and Extends Services Contract with Landis+Gyr

Utility will add over 500k advanced meters to deployment and extend services contract

ATLANTA, GA. – March 13, 2019 – Landis+Gyr (LAND.SW) announced an agreement with We Energies, a subsidiary of the WEC Energy Group, that significantly expands the utility’s advanced metering deployment and extends the services contract for AMI system operation.

We Energies plans to extend its advanced metering deployment to approximately 508,000 electricity customers, while adding Gridstream® Connect network components to support the expansion. This agreement was one of two new contracts referenced by Landis+Gyr at its Capital Markets Day in January.

“We Energies has demonstrated the value advanced metering brings to their operations staff and customer base. The extension of the existing smart grid program will help the utility enhance services, improve power quality and reliability,” said Eric Seiter, Vice President and Regional General Manager at Landis+Gyr.

In a previous contract, Landis+Gyr deployed the Gridstream AMI solution for about half of We Energies’ electricity customer base. The company has provided management services for We Energies advanced metering network since 2001 and the utility’s meter data management system. Last year, Landis+Gyr contracted with We Energies’ sister company, Wisconsin Public Service, for an 800k meter deployment covering the utility’s electricity and gas customers.
