The 10 local distribution companies (LDCs) in the GridSmartCity (GSC) alliance have decided that buying equipment and pursuing other initiatives where there are common goals would be more effective through a cooperative. Last month, they announced the formation of GSC Cooperative.

Utilities are increasingly looking to add more capabilities to their advanced communications infrastructure and this is forcing smart grid technology providers to up their game, according to Greg Myers, VP of marketing and product management at Sensus in North America.

Trilliant Inc. has been chosen as the smart meter platform supplier for RWE npower. The agreement will make Trilliant the largest provider of in-home smart energy communications solutions in the UK.

Redline Communications Inc. has been awarded a contract to provide wireless connectivity to 500 power substations for an energy provider in the Middle East/North Africa (MENA) region.

The introduction of intelligence and two way communications to a wide variety of operational technologies (OT) and then linking OT to enterprise IT systems is creating new cyber security threats for the utilities.
