Silver Spring Networks, Inc. announced that it has been selected for an advanced, multi-application smart grid deployment for City Utilities of Springfield, a community-owned utility delivering electricity, natural gas and water services to more than 106,000 customers in southwest Missouri.

It is also expected to deliver improved service reliability, reduced operating costs, greater energy efficiency, and to empower City Utilities' customers to make better energy and water usage decisions.
"We are honored to help City Utilities leverage some of the industry's most advanced technology to deliver smart electricity, water, and gas services to their customers," said Eric Dresselhuys, EVP of Global Sales and Development, Silver Spring Networks. "Multi-service municipal utilities face complex challenges in managing separate distribution networks for each service and we applaud City Utilities' ‘no compromise' approach to delivering lasting benefits for its customers. City Utilities' program is expected to deliver benefits on par with the best global projects and set a new standard for public power providers."
Silver Spring offers a ready-to-deploy Municipal and Cooperative Smart Grid Solution that makes it easy to rapidly scope, deploy and test results for capabilities such as sophisticated Advanced Metering Infrastructure for electricity, water, and natural gas customers, Demand Response, Distribution Automation, and other critical infrastructure applications over time. Silver Spring is already working with municipal and cooperative utilities such as CPS Energy, Modesto Irrigation District, Sacramento Municipal Utility District, Snohomish County Public Utility District and others, to unlock smart grid benefits for their consumers.
