Itron Global Study: 93% of Utilities Say Major Data Investments Are Delivering More Value Than They Were Built For
Itron released its 2026 Resourcefulness Report, a survey of 700 utility executives showing 93% say major data and intelligence investments have enabled at least two additional use cases beyond their original purpose. Load growth is cited as utilities' top grid stressor at 43%, and technical integration (53%) and lack of automation (47%) are the leading barriers to operationalizing intelligence — pain points that map to Itron's product positioning.
