Itron Wins Natural Gas Firm

Liberty Lake-based Itron, a manufacturer of smart meters for the utility industry, has expanded a win with a customer, the firm said today. Itron said that NW Natural Gas is evaluating Itron's technology for two-way gas metering, for collecting on-demand reading from customers. The firm said the additional capability would allow NW Natural to analyze consumption patterns, conduct trending analysis, and develop future products and services. NW Natural has been using Itron's meters since 2006, and says it has deployed more than 660,000 meters in Oregon.
