Smart utilities refer to the use of technology and data to improve the efficiency, sustainability, and livability of energy waste and water in a municipality.

Examples of smart city utilities include:

  • Smart grid systems: that allow for more efficient and reliable management of electricity distribution
  • Intelligent transportation systems: that use real-time data to optimize traffic flow and reduce congestion
  • Smart waste management systems: that use sensors and monitoring to improve the collection and processing of waste
  • Smart water management: systems that use sensors and monitoring to improve the distribution and conservation of water
  • Smart lighting systems: that use sensors and controls to adjust lighting levels in response to changes in ambient light and activity levels
  • Intelligent building systems: that use data and automation to improve energy efficiency and comfort in buildings.

These utilities help to create more livable, efficient, and sustainable cities.
