AMI Technologies
• Selection usually driven by communication• Metering requirements generally (not
always) met by all suppliers• Most suppliers abreast of standards for
cybersec and interop• Communication choice drivers
• Technical requirements• Established by business case
• Supplier requirements• Utility risk approach/tolerance• Price• Subjective relationship factors
• IT issues can be substantialAMI = Advanced metering infrastructure

AMI Market Status - AMI is mainstream.
• AMI* deployment rate reached steady state in 2003• U.S. AMI electric meter population is now > 30 million • Current AMI deployment rate = 12 million to 16 million per year• Most U.S. electric meters will be AMI by 2020
*AMI = Advanced metering infrastructure capable of gathering hourly data.
