Advanced metering infrastructure (AMI) 2.0 is the next wave of smart metering that promises to transform how utilities and customers interact and benefit from energy data. However, the path to AMI 2.0 benefits realization is not clear-cut, and utilities have found it necessary to pilot small use cases and iterate on their long-term roadmap.
Jesse Harvey, Director – Head of AMI – MA, National Grid, will speak on implementing AMI 2.0 strategies at DTECH (formerly known as DISTRIBUTECH) convening from March 24-27, 2025 in Dallas, Texas.
Harvey will participate in the session, Making sense of AMI 2.0 with National Grid and Snohomish PUD, taking place March 27 from 11:00 AM-11:50 AM.
The opportunity exists for utilities to shorten the learning curve and leverage best practices to maximize the value of AMI 2.0. Some are starting to collaborate with solution providers to access the latest innovations and insights.
In this session, you will hear from utilities that are at different stages of their AMI 2.0 journey: National Grid, CPS Energy and Snohomish PUD. They will share their experiences, challenges, and successes in developing and implementing their AMI 2.0 strategies, moderated by Cognizant. You will also learn about the AMI 2.0 Innovation Council, a network of utility peers and solution providers that’s working jointly to refine use cases and drive best practices across the industry.
Jesse Harvey has over 21 years of experience at National Grid, spanning diverse roles in customer service, field operations, and transformation initiatives. Throughout his career, Jesse has been at the forefront of driving meaningful change, including leading change and business readiness for a major organizational transformational program, leading strategy activation to reduce carbon emissions in the gas business, and now serving as the Head of National Grid’s Massachusetts Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI) deployment.
