U.S. utilities have invested tens of billions of dollars in Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI) over the last two decades. As those first-generation deployments approach end-of-life, utilities are facing difficult questions: Did AMI deliver on its promises? Was the investment justified? And what comes next?

To get to the bottom of that and look ahead to what comes next in AMI 2.0, Power Perspectives is joined by Steven Lupo, Managing Director for North America at Trilliant. As a seasoned utility and smart grid expert, he’s primed to explain how utility leaders can make smarter, more future-proof investments in the next wave of grid modernization.

From balancing risk with innovation, to understanding the real-world performance of next-gen smart meters, this conversation digs into both the strategic and technical sides of AMI 2.0. Whether you're an exec weighing your next major capital deployment or a regulator reviewing grid plans, this episode will sharpen your understanding of where the AMI conversation is headed next.
