WPPI Energy, a regional power company with 51 consumer-owned utility members serving the US customers, offers the hosted AMI service.

The EnergyAxis system, which Whitehall has selected through WPPI, has mesh technology which is self-configuring, self-healing and self-optimizing.

Whitehall Electric Utility city administrator Tina Sass commented, "By enrolling in WPPI’s hosted EnergyAxis® AMI service, we will have reduced upfront costs in IT hardware and software, and have access to an MDM system at a fraction of the cost of purchasing our own."

Elster Solutions president Ed Myszka said, "Elster’s work with Whitehall Electric Utility and WPPI Energy supports our mission to provide utilities with comprehensive and flexible solutions to deliver greater grid efficiency for utilities in all size markets."
