South Kentucky Rural Electric Cooperative Corporation
Abstract
The South Kentucky Rural Electric Cooperative Corporation‘s (SKRECC) project includes the installation of a fully integrated advanced metering system across the service territory. The installation includes smart meters, enhanced communications infrastructure, in-home displays, and direct load control devices. The project implements two-way communications and utility applications to: 1) allow customers to view their energy consumption at their convenience through the customer Web portal and in-home displays, 2) allow SKRECC to manage, measure, and verify targeted demand reduction, 3) provide the utility with automated notifications indicating the scope and location of customer outages, and 4) reduce operational costs.
