Itron released its 2026 Resourcefulness Report, a company-sponsored survey of 700 utility executives, with a Nordic focus on Sweden, Norway and Finland based on 100 respondents. The findings show Nordic utilities have embedded grid intelligence broadly — 42% describe AMI data use as fully embedded and scalable — while lack of automation (60%) is the leading barrier to data-driven decisions.
