Every day, the Smart Grid works to reduce downtime and keeps your business moving. Next-generation technology maximizes energy reliability and minimizes power outages for every EPB customer.
The Smart Grid monitors energy delivery, detects problem areas and instantly reroutes power in seconds when necessary.
The 8,000-mile fiber optic network has thousands of smart switches & meters for reliable power delivery and real-time usage data.
The Smart Grid has reduced power outages an average of 60% and helped customers avoid nearly 19 million outage minutes each year.
Every day, the Smart Grid works to reduce downtime and keeps your business moving. Next-generation technology maximizes energy reliability and minimizes power outages for every EPB customer.
By isolating geographic areas into smaller, independent “microgrids,” we are exploring new ways of utilizing Smart Grid technology to maximize reliable energy delivery.
Through ongoing research with local and national leaders, we are developing new applications for advanced technologies to enhance quality of life in our community.
