Utility chooses TRUSense Gateway™ to accelerate its fiber-to-the-home initiative and transform its community
Burnaby, British Columbia–(Newsfile Corp. – June 26, 2024) – Tantalus Systems (TSX: GRID) (“Tantalus” or the “Company”), a technology company dedicated to helping utilities modernize their distribution grids by harnessing the power of data, is pleased to announce that its user community recently reached 300 utilities with the selection of Tantalus by Henderson Municipal Power & Light (“HMP&L”).
The deployment of the Tantalus Grid Modernization Platform™ with TRUSense Fiber Gateways will help HMP&L benefit from advanced metering capabilities while accessing granular power quality data and securing the necessary visibility, command and control of distributed energy resources (“DERs”) and smart appliances located behind the meter. By harnessing the power of data captured and analyzed through Tantalus’ platform, the utility will boost resiliency. The TRUSense Fiber Gateway provides the capabilities to proactively track and manage the impact of grid-scale solar and storage assets on the utility’s power mix.
“HMP&L commenced our multi-gigabit fiber investment earlier in 2024 with the goal of delivering reliable and affordable broadband access across our community,” said Brian Hardesty, Chief Technology Officer at HMP&L. “While our initial focus in making the investment in fiber was to ensure all residents of the City of Henderson had equitable access to broadband services and hopefully lessen future rate increases, we selected Tantalus because of their Grid Modernization Platform, including the TRUSense Fiber Gateway, which will uniquely leverage the fiber network to support our broader grid modernization initiatives. The data and analytics available to HMP&L through Tantalus’ platform will enable us to improve our resiliency as a utility to ultimately benefit our community.”
As part of the utility’s broader plan, HMP&L will leverage granular grid data across its fiber network to enhance SCADA operations- enabling the utility to deploy grid automation and incorporate additional renewable energy sources, while mitigating the costs and complexity of incorporating DERs across the distribution grid.
“We are pleased to be part of Henderson Municipal Power & Light’s grid modernization journey, and to welcome them as the 300th member of our expanding customer community,” said Peter Londa, Tantalus’ President and CEO. “It is imperative for utilities to deploy a platform that not only addresses near-term priorities, but simultaneously supports long-term initiatives to improve the performance of their distribution grids. We look forward to partnering with the team at HMP&L to help them harness the power of their grid data and deliver meaningful and immediate impact to their community.”
