TechBlocks, a leader in cloud-native engineering for utilities, has partnered with NET2GRID, an AI-powered energy analytics company, to unlock the full potential of AMI 2.0 data. This collaboration helps utilities move beyond smart meter rollouts and achieve deeper customer and grid intelligence.

The partnership brings together TechBlocks’ strengths in cloud platforms, OT systems, ADMS, grid operations, and asset-intensive engineering. It integrates these capabilities with NET2GRID’s EnergyAI SaaS solution to deliver advanced energy management. This solution delivers EV, solar, and battery detection, load disaggregation, and household energy profiles directly from AMI 2.0 and Itron Distributed Intelligence meters.

With grid-edge analytics integrated into enterprise platforms, utilities can channel intelligence into OT systems like ADMS, SCADA, and OMS. At the same time, they can integrate with Customer Data Platforms (CDPs) to unify customer information. This creates a single source that enhances engagement and strengthens operational reliability.

Driving Value with AMI 2.0 Data

This collaboration is designed to generate tangible benefits for utilities.

  • Customer and operational impact – AMI data powers EV-only tariffs, high-bill alerts, and engagement nudges, while enhancing grid reliability.
  • DER visibility at scale – Utilities can identify behind-the-meter EVs, solar, and storage systems, helping manage transformer loads and renewable integration.
  • Lower cost-to-serve – Personalized energy insights cut call center traffic and boost customer trust without new hardware investments.
  • Rapid delivery – TechBlocks’ engineering teams integrate NET2GRID analytics into portals, CIS, CDPs, and workflows in as little as 90 days.
  • Edge and OT integration – With analytics processed directly on DI meters and delivered into OT systems, utilities gain real-time intelligence for outage management, load balancing, and preventative maintenance.

For Itron-enabled utilities such as PG&E, TECO, BC Hydro, EDF, and GRDF, this partnership extends the value of AMI 2.0 investments. Utilities can unlock new customer and operational use cases without replacing existing systems.

Sean Bredin, Managing Director of Emerging Markets at TechBlocks, stated:

“Utilities are sitting on massive datasets they cannot fully leverage. Together, we unlock EV and DER insights that improve reliability, reduce costs, and create new customer value.”

Andy Duffy, Director of Partnerships, North America at NET2GRID, added:
“The modern utility must balance customer expectations with grid reliability. We support utilities by turning AMI data into actionable intelligence that enhances engagement and strengthens operations.”
