The Right Strategy. The Right Results.
LER Advanced Utility Solutions delivers end-to-end support for AMI transformation and grid modernization—backed by deep utility knowledge, proven methods, and community-driven impact. Our six core service areas are designed to guide utilities from strategic planning to sustained performance, all while building trust, local capacity, and operational resilience.
Start with clarity. Move forward with purpose.
We begin every engagement with a comprehensive audit of your Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI) ecosystem. From field devices and communication networks to back-office platforms and personnel workflows, our subject matter experts uncover inefficiencies, gaps, and hidden opportunities.
Once your current-state assessment is complete, we co-develop a strategic modernization roadmap tailored to your utility's size, goals, and community. Whether preparing for an AMI 2.0 transition, deploying Private LTE, or enhancing existing infrastructure, we help you plan your next move with insight and confidence.
Unite your teams. Align your partners. Accelerate your progress.
Successful modernization requires more than technology—it demands alignment across internal teams, external partners, and long-term objectives. We lead in-depth stakeholder workshops to gather insights, align expectations, and build consensus.
From there, we guide you through the RFI/RFP process, ensuring that vendors understand your vision and can deliver the performance, scalability, and values that matter most. LER serves as your neutral, trusted advisor—helping you make decisions that stand the test of time.
Turn opportunity into momentum.
Securing funding is a critical part of any utility transformation. Our team keeps a pulse on the latest federal and state grant programs—including Grid Resilience and Innovation Partnerships (GRIP) and other infrastructure initiatives—to help you capitalize on available resources.
We work with your utility to craft compelling, detailed grant packages that reflect your project’s true value while maximizing competitiveness and compliance. Whether you're just exploring funding options or racing toward a deadline, LER is your partner for financial strategy and grant execution.
Build with confidence. Execute with precision.
We don’t stop at strategy—LER helps utilities design, plan, and execute their grid modernization initiatives with accuracy and agility. From early-stage planning through installation, integration, and acceptance testing, our team provides hands-on guidance and oversight.
We coordinate with your vendors, manage milestones, and adapt to real-time changes on the ground. The result? Reduced risk, fewer delays, and a deployment process that stays in sync with your goals and your operations.
Sustainable talent, built from within.
At the core of every LER engagement is our commitment to people—especially the ones in your own backyard. We source, train, and embed professionals from your local region to support AMI operations, customer engagement, and technical implementation.
By combining expert guidance from our national team with local talent development, we strengthen your workforce and generate lasting value in your community. Our embedded teams not only support your current needs but also transfer knowledge that empowers your utility for the future.
Keep your systems smart, secure, and scalable.
Modernizing your infrastructure is only the beginning. LER partners with utilities to ensure long-term performance through operations optimization, knowledge transfer, and technical support. We help you fine-tune your systems, maximize your technology investment, and build internal capacity to lead future growth.
From maintenance protocols and training to system enhancements and lifecycle planning, our goal is to make sure your AMI network performs better—long after go-live.
