Itron Partnering With Northumbrian Water To Upgrade Utility's Water Distribution System

Itron, Inc. (NASDAQ: ITRI), which is innovating new ways for utilities and cities to manage energy and water, is collaborating with Northumbrian Water Limited (NWL), a leading water provider in northeast England, to modernize the utility's water distribution system. NWL will deploy 330,000 Itron Aquadis+ volumetric water meters equipped with Cyble 5 multi-connectivity communication modules by 2029 to easily and efficiently capture accurate data and manage their water network. The collaboration with NWL marks Itron's third Cyble 5 contract in the U.K, highlighting Itron's momentum and growing presence in the U.K. water sector.

Water utilities in the U.K. are subject to strict water leak reduction goals set by Ofwat, the water sector regulator in England and Wales. These goals have prompted several water utilities such as NWL to upgrade their infrastructure and digitally transform their service territories by deploying Itron's Cyble 5 solution. Deployment of the Itron water meters and Cyble 5 modules for NWL is currently underway and is expected to be completed by 2029.
