LIBERTY LAKE, Wash. — April 11, 2017 — Itron, Inc. (NASDAQ: ITRI), a world-leading technology and services company dedicated to the resourceful use of energy and water, is migrating Texas-New Mexico Power (TNMP) to Itron Total Outcomes to manage, operate and maintain what is currently one of the largest cellular advanced metering infrastructure (AMI) networks in the country. TNMP is migrating its entire system, including meter data management and data collection, as well as analytics to be managed by Itron. This will allow TNMP to keep its resources focused on core business operations.

In addition, Itron will deliver analytic reports that identify likely cases of energy diversion.
