On 21 November 2024, integrated water solutions player Suez and French gas distributor GRDF announced a 10-year contract for Suez to use GRDF’s gas meter reading network for its water meter reading business in France. Suez and GRDF initiated their collaboration in 2012 to codevelop 169-MHz-based meter reading technology.
Suez’s meter reading stronghold in France lends itself to exploiting the existing 169-MHz network. Post-Veolia merger, the company still serves 10.4 million people and manages over 600 water treatment plants.
In this Research Note:
- GRDF-Suez deal shores up grip on French market
- U.K., Spain drive advanced metering market with dueling LoRaWAN, NB-IoT technology providers
- Utility IoT strategies feature technology proliferation, piecemeal approach
- Integration and adaptation fundamental to future proof solutions
