Infrastructure to help lay smart grid groundwork Liberty Lake-based Itron Inc. has secured a contract with Bangor, Maine-based electric utility Versant Power to upgrade the utility’s metering infrastructure and network. In a Jan. 19 press release, Itron reported the work will lay the foundations of a smart-grid program for Versant, which serves about 160,000 customers in northern and eastern Maine. Itron senior public relations manager Alison Mallahan says terms of the contract weren’t disclosed as part of the agreement. Versant is adopting Itron’s industrial internet of things network starting this year, the release states. The industrial internet of things refers to interconnected sensors and other devices that are networked together with industrial computer applications.
