Tantalus’ fourth annual Utility of the Future Survey, fielded in February and March 2026, surveyed the pressures and priorities of 109 respondents across North American public power utilities and electric cooperatives. This year’s study revealed a growing urgency to upgrade aging infrastructure while remaining mindful of long-term costs. The solution: Take a data-centric approach to grid modernization, one that delivers the right insights from the right device to the right application, no matter where the underlying data originates. Click below to read the full study.
Now in its third year, the 2025 Utility of the Future Survey offers insights from 103 utility professionals from across North America around their biggest priorities, concerns and levels of preparedness for the road ahead. Once again, grid modernization remains a high priority for the vast majority of utilities, and grid data management and cybersecurity still rank as the top two challenges.
What other obstacles and trends do utilities need to navigate on the path to grid modernization? What challenges does the industry feel most prepared for, and where is it lagging? And how can you take your next step toward becoming the utility of the future? View our latest report to learn more.
In some locations, people have voiced concerns over the potential health effects of smart meters and other wireless technology. Tantalus takes customer concerns very seriously and, after deep analysis of the issue, we are confident that smart meters and other advanced metering infrastructure (AMI) present no measurable health effects.
On January 30, 2024, Tantalus officially launched the Tantalus Grid Modernization Platform (TGMP™), a breakthrough technology platform that helps utilities accelerate their grid modernization efforts. The platform includes a smart grid architecture comprised of connected devices, communications networks, grid data management, applications and analytics.
From storms and aging infrastructure to the growing use of distributed energy resources (DERs), the utility industry faces increasing challenges to grid resiliency. Among these challenges, wildfires are a standout because of the role utilities can inadvertently play in causing them.
Learn how a Tantalus Systems customer is “going beyond AMI” by using our AI-enabled data analytics to turn granular data from the grid into actionable insights to mitigate the risk of wildfires.
Without analytics, public power and electric cooperative utilities have been blind to much of what’s happening on their distribution networks.
TUNet Grid Reliability Analytics leverages data from Tantalus’ advanced metering infrastructure (AMI) to provide utilities with visibility into power quality issues that lead to outages and premature failure of devices deployed across the distribution grid.
Utilities are working with Tantalus to achieve greater operational efficiencies to better serve their communities. Their stories are here. We hope you become one of them.
