Sioux Valley Energy
Sioux Valley Energy (SVE) is an electric cooperative serving approximately 21,000 customers in seven counties in South Dakota and Minnesota. SVEs Smart Grid Investment Grant (SGIG) Advanced Metering Infrastructure Project is a customer-focused initiative to assist customers with better managing their electricity consumption and associated costs, and to help SVE realize operational efficiencies and ultimately lower power supply costs. To achieve these goals, the Advanced Metering Infrastructure Project is deploying smart meters to all of its customers along with associated communications and data management systems for automating various metering services, offering time-based rates, and providing customers with information on their hourly electricity consumption and costs.
