“As we get our AMI fully deployed, we’re already looking ahead to smart lighting that will conserve energy, as well as distributed energy resources with solar options. We’re also looking forward to the Middle Mile Project that Seven States is working on for the Valley. We continually look for smart grid solutions to increase our reliability. All of this will enable us to monitor and control the system’s loads more efficiently.”

“Our mission is to deliver power safely, reliably, and economically. That’s why innovation is so important, because it always brings safer, more economical options to our customers’ lives while increasing reliability. I want our customers to know that the innovative technology we implement helps support our mission to serve the City of Florence’s residents better.”

“Don’t be afraid to try something that’s new. You can always try it on a small scale and see if it’s going to work for you before you can do it on a larger scale. You never know how a new technology is going to benefit you until you try.  If you always stick with what you know, then you’ll never advance.”
