TechBlocks and NET2GRID Partner to Unlock AMI 2.0 Data Value for Utilities

TechBlocks and NET2GRID have partnered to help utilities unlock the value of AMI 2.0 data. The partnership combines TechBlocks' expertise in cloud platforms and OT systems with NET2GRID's EnergyAI SaaS solution, which delivers grid-edge analytics and household energy profiles from AMI 2.0 and Itron Distributed Intelligence meters. This enables utilities to feed intelligence into OT platforms and Customer Data Platforms, improving operational reliability and customer engagement. The partnership aims to reduce costs and improve grid reliability by turning AMI data into valuable intelligence.

In a strategic move aimed at enhancing operational efficiency and customer engagement, TechBlocks and NET2GRID have partnered to unlock the full potential of AMI 2.0 data for utilities. This collaboration combines TechBlocks' expertise in cloud platforms and operational technology (OT) systems with NET2GRID's EnergyAI SaaS solution, which delivers grid-edge analytics and detailed household energy profiles from AMI 2.0 and Itron Distributed Intelligence meters.

The partnership enables utilities to feed intelligence into operational technology (OT) platforms and Customer Data Platforms (CDPs), thereby improving operational reliability and customer engagement. By turning AMI data into valuable insights, the collaboration aims to reduce costs and enhance grid reliability. This strategic alliance is poised to drive significant benefits for utilities and their customers.

According to Sean Bredin, Managing Director Emerging Markets at TechBlocks, "Utilities are sitting on massive datasets they can't fully leverage. Together, we're helping them unlock EV and DER insights that improve reliability, reduce costs, and create new customer value" [2]. Andy Duffy, Director of Partnerships, North America at NET2GRID, added, "The modern utility needs to balance customer expectations with grid reliability. We are proud to support utilities in the North American market by turning their AMI data into valuable intelligence that elevates customer engagement strategies while improving grid reliability" [2].

This partnership is a significant step forward in the broader shift toward smarter, more efficient power systems. The North America Smart Grid Market, valued at USD 16.6 billion in 2024, is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 10.6% to reach USD 44.5 billion by 2034, driven by increasing electricity consumption, policy support, and technological innovations [3].
