TechBlocks, a leader in cloud-native engineering, has partnered with NET2GRID, an AI-powered energy analytics provider, to transform how utilities leverage Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI) 2.0 data. This collaboration combines TechBlocks’ expertise in operational technology with NET2GRID’s EnergyAI solution to deliver actionable grid and customer intelligence, enhancing reliability and engagement for utilities.
The partnership between TechBlocks and NET2GRID enables utilities to move beyond traditional smart meter deployments, unlocking the full potential of AMI 2.0 data. By integrating NET2GRID’s EnergyAI SaaS solution with TechBlocks’ cloud platforms and operational technology (OT) systems, utilities gain real-time insights into electric vehicle (EV), solar, and battery usage. This enhances grid reliability and supports customer-centric initiatives like time-of-use (TOU) tariffs and high-bill alerts.
NET2GRID’s EnergyAI delivers detailed household energy profiles and load disaggregation, enabling utilities to feed intelligence into OT platforms like ADMS, SCADA, and OMS for improved outage management and load balancing. Simultaneously, integration with Customer Data Platforms (CDPs) fosters personalized customer engagement. “Utilities are sitting on massive datasets they can’t fully leverage. Together, we’re helping them unlock EV and DER insights that improve reliability, reduce costs, and create new customer value,” said Sean Bredin, Managing Director Emerging Markets at TechBlocks.
The partnership emphasizes cost-effective solutions, reducing call center volumes and enhancing customer trust through personalized insights without requiring new hardware. TechBlocks’ engineering pods enable rapid integration of NET2GRID’s analytics into portals, customer information systems (CIS), and field workflows in as little as 90 days. “The modern utility needs to balance customer expectations with grid reliability. We are proud to support utilities in the North American market by turning their AMI data into valuable intelligence that elevates customer engagement strategies while improving grid reliability,” said Andy Duffy, Director of Partnerships, North America at NET2GRID.
For utilities using Itron Distributed Intelligence meters, such as PG&E, TECO, BC Hydro, EDF, and GRDF, this partnership extends the value of existing AMI 2.0 investments. It unlocks new operational and customer use cases, such as improved transformer load management and renewable integration, without replacing core systems. This approach ensures utilities can scale efficiently while meeting modern energy demands.
The TechBlocks and NET2GRID partnership positions utilities to harness AMI 2.0 data for smarter grid operations and enhanced customer experiences, driving innovation and sustainability in the energy sector.
