Cham, Switzerland - June 25, 2025
ATLANTA, GA. – July 22, 2025 – Landis+Gyr (SIX: LAND) and Withlacoochee River Electric Cooperative (WREC) have signed an agreement to deploy Landis+Gyr’s Gridstream Connect solution for grid management and advanced metering.
The solution will include both Gridstream AMI meters and Revelo grid edge sensing devices operating on an RF Mesh IP network. Landis+Gyr’s omni-carrier cellular communications will also be deployed in more isolated areas within WREC’s service territory.
“As our community continues to grow along Florida’s Nature Coast, we remain committed to delivering the resilient electric service our members depend on,” said David Lambert, WREC’s General Manager. “By leveraging advanced data from across our system, we’re able to automate key processes, improve communication, and respond more quickly – helping us keep the lights on when it matters most.”
WREC will be able to connect with over 270,000 services across its territory in the west-central part of Florida to drive better outage notification and response, provide Members with improved access to energy information and drive service improvements across its distribution network. Headquartered in Dade City, FL, WREC provides service on the northeast side of Tampa Bay, along with rural areas further east of the city.
“Flexible grid management starts at the grid edge with the ability to stream high resolution current and voltage data and turn that data into actionable insights. WREC will benefit from the ability to analyze advanced power quality metrics and detect grid anomalies at the edge and immediately share that data with software applications that deliver proven benefits for both consumers and utilities,” said Mark Ortega, Director of Distribution Sales at Landis+Gyr.
