Scheduled to commence later this month, the project covers installation of approximately 40,000 digital electric meters to help Inland P&L customers better understand their electrical consumption and make more informed decisions regarding usage.
UPA will provide complete installation services including a work order management system (WOMS), workflow development, a customer information system (CIS) interface and data and inventory management.
Utility Partners of America CEO Lee Schwartz said the company will support the digital meter installation project by providing a team of highly-trained technicians and customer care professionals for management of the entire process.
”This allows Inland P&L professionals to focus on their day-to-day operations, providing low cost, reliable power. Meanwhile, thousands of Inland P&L members will be relieved of their monthly self-meter-reading duties,” Schwartz added.
In addition, the meters will provide customers with important diagnostics that will help improve power quality, increase ways to optimize the electrical system and pinpoint outages, while generating significant savings over the cost of the current system by reducing meter reading expenses and eliminating the need for self-reporting.
The project is expected to complete by the end of 2015.
