Project Grant
Overview
Grant Description
Bipartisan Infrastructure Law (BIL) Tri-County Power Meter Squared & Green Tree
The project seeks to modernize outdated meters with advanced radio frequency (RF) meters that can provide timely and accurate energy consumption data. Additionally, the recipient plans to upgrade its vegetation management software with artificial intelligence (AI) to identify and mitigate potential hazards associated with vegetation-related power outages.
It will also implement advanced data analytics AI software for monitoring, control, and adaptive AI modeling to improve system performance and reduce the impact of disruptive events. The ultimate objective of the project is to reduce the frequency and duration of outages, expedite restoration times, and decrease the cost of outages while delivering significant economic and justice benefits to communities in South Carolina.
