Utilities are under mounting pressure to modernize the distribution grid as aging transformers, DER growth and limited visibility collide with rising expectations from regulators, city councils, large energy users and critical infrastructure operators—like hyperscalers, data centers and hospitals. This insight report, based on a 2025 survey of utility professionals, explores how smarter low-voltage sensing is closing data gaps, preventing outages and extending asset life. Learn why visibility between SCADA and the meter is now essential, and how leading utilities are shifting from reactive fixes to proactive operations.
