NV Energy, through the expansion of the solution to northern Nevada, would provide synergies and a common platform for distribution management across southern and northern Nevada territories serving around 1.2 million customers.

The company’s Network Manager DMS, an operations management system, is designed to help electric distribution companies to enhance customer service and reduce operating and maintenance expenditure. The system combines the real-time communications, operational data and advanced applications with a dispatch management interface to improve performance through data sharing.

Salim Khan, head of ABB’s Network Management business unit in North America, said: “We are pleased that NV Energy has chosen to expand the use of Network Manager DMS throughout their service territory. ABB Network Manager DMS has a long history of providing distribution management and operations support to distribution companies and help improve system performance and increase customer satisfaction.”
