Comverge Announces Successful Completion of Three-Year AMR
Project With PPL Electric Utilities
EAST HANOVER, N.J., Jan. 26 /PRNewswire/ -- PPL Electric Utilities (NYSE:PPL)
successfully concluded a three-year automatic meter reading project with
solutions provider Comverge, Inc. The largest program of its kind in the US,
this Commercial and Industrial AMR initiative was undertaken in an effort to
automatically collect load profile and billing data from over 6,000 of PPL's
largest customers.
The program utilized Comverge's Maingate(R) C&I gateway to transmit data over a
3G cellular network and was integrated with PPL's existing CIS and billing
platforms through Comverge's PowerCAMP software suite. The system passed
extensive testing, achieving a 99.8% nightly read rate and a 100% monthly read
rate.
"The Comverge solution is a key part of our revenue cycle process. It's proven
to be a stable, reliable performer assuring timely, accurate bills for our
largest customers" said PPL Director Bernie Bujnowski.
Comverge CEO Robert Chiste commented, "We believe the success of this program
validates a concrete business case for large scale AMR programs. We are seeing
many of the nation's largest utilities currently considering similar programs
and Comverge is eager to provide similar results." Comverge will be
demonstrating this solution at DistribuTECH booth 1038.
