Gas

What Does Hydrogen Mean for the Gas Industry?: This session will discuss a framework for utilities and manufacturers to follow to begin the hydrogen transition. We will discuss existing research and measures surrounding hydrogen and natural gas blending and how hydrogen may impact the gas industry in the future.

Moving Beyond Billing: Taking Your Gas AMI to the Next Level: Now that you’ve deployed AMI, what’s next? Hear from energy utilities with several years of AMI experience. They’ll share how they’ve moved beyond billing to draw new insights from their distribution network. Learn how they’re applying data gathered from meters and sensors to give their customers.

Electric

Managed Disconnect – A New Way to Control Loads: Currently, disconnecting a customer’s electric service is done by opening or closing the switch from the Device Manager or sending a series of commands to groups of meters. But what if you could schedule disconnects for individual meters or groups weeks in advance? Join us to learn how remote disconnect works and how managing disconnects in a proactive manner can benefit your utility and customers.
