The American Municipal Power, Inc. (AMP) AMI Program offers public power utilities an advanced metering infrastructure solution built for the unique needs, objectives and complexities of municipal utility systems. Through its digital enablement platform, this program lays the foundation for municipalities (regardless of size) to become a “Smart City.” AMP partnered with Itron and IPKeys Power Partners to develop the public power industry’s leading AMI Program.
The AMP AMI Program’s pioneering design provides municipal participants with a holistic solution leveraging extensive public power utility experience and partnerships with expert service providers to reduce management complexity, lower long-term risk, improve operational and system efficiencies, and predict future costs of complex technology systems.
Key Benefits
Key benefits of the AMI Program for participating municipal utility systems are reductions in implementation risk and long-term operations complexities, cost savings through joint action, the provision of service level performance guarantees, and the support and advocacy of a dedicated operations team.
The AMI Program’s information technology architecture is built according to industry best practices with an emphasis on cybersecurity that includes encryption of communications and active defense measures to detect and stop cyberthreats.
Public power utility systems using the program will deploy a best-of-breed solution (meters, wireless network communications, applications and systems integrations), enabling the use of and support for a wide range of innovative and advanced technologies to serve the utility’s current needs and provide a platform for future smart city initiatives.
