SPAN and Landis+Gyr (SIX: LAND) announced their strategic partnership to commercialize the category-defining SPAN Edge product, an “at-the-meter” solution for utilities.

SPAN Edge, together with Landis+Gyr AMI solutions, reimagines the grid-edge as an Intelligent Service Point that can transform homes into predictable, shapable distribution assets. SPAN Edge enables homeowners to add EV chargers, heat pumps, batteries, and more, while providing utilities with unprecedented orchestration at the grid-edge. It unlocks reliable, flexible load shaping benefits beyond traditional virtual power plants (VPPs) and non-wires alternatives (NWAs).

SPAN Edge is the newest offering in the company’s product line expansion, and the first purpose-built for utility needs. With components that are designed to be installed by a technician in less than 15 minutes, this product is a faster and lower cost solution to address load growth and distribution network challenges while delivering a superior end-customer experience.

With 129 years of experience, Landis+Gyr is the go-to provider of grid optimization to utilities nationwide. Recognizing the utility customer’s dynamic role in an electrified and modernized world, Landis+Gyr is committed to helping utilities decarbonize the grid while simultaneously meeting growing energy demand.

Our partnership is a win across the board – not only for our two companies, but also for utilities and their customers nationwide.”
