AMI project advances to full implementation

摘要

Orangeburg department of public utilities completes multiphase AMI/MDM pilot project. The Department of Public Utilities (DPU) has served the City of Orangeburg, South Carolina, U.S., and surrounding community for more than 100 years, striving to provide customers with reliable and low-cost utility services. In 2010, DPU realized metering technology was available to improve the services (electric, water, gas and waste water) it provides to both its city and rural customers. After researching options and reviewing the current metering technologies, the utility decided to modernize its metering infrastructure and systems by implementing an advanced metering infrastructure (AMI) system.
