Oregon Electric Utility Selects Cloud-Based Meter Data Management System

Newport, Oregon-based Central Lincoln People's Utility District has signed a five-year contract for Gridstream MDMS to host the utility's advanced metering data.  Central Lincoln's software and data storage will be hosted by Landis+Gyr as part of its Cloud Services offering.

Gridstream MDMS complements Central Lincoln's existing smart grid investments, which include advanced Landis+Gyr meters, Gridstream RF network and a dynamic voltage management solution.

Landis+Gyr has owned and operated a network operations center for more than 20 years to provide data hosting and management services to utilities such as Central Lincoln. With Landis+Gyr Cloud Services, utilities can securely access software applications through the cloud to reduce maintenance costs and unburden IT resources.

The Central Lincoln People's Utility District is Oregon's fourth-largest electric utility, serving some 700 square miles and approximately 55,000 people in portions of Coos, Douglas, Lane, and Lincoln counties.
