CoServ Selects Miner & Miner's Responder as Outage Management System
Not-for-profit utility selects GIS-based OMS and leverages enterprise solution
Fort Collins, CO -- CoServ Electric, a not-for-profit utility
co-op serving Northern Texas for more than 65 years, has selected
Responder for their Outage Management System (OMS). The co-op serves
105,000 electric retail and business customers in a service area including
parts of Collin, Denton, Wise, Cooke, Grayson, and Tarrant counties.
CoServ implemented ArcFM in 2003 for management of their distribution
network. By selecting Responder, they will leverage their existing GIS
data and systems, minimizing risk and expediting the implementation. The
solution will also allow the co-op to provide quick, accurate predictions
for efficient power restoration during outages.
CoServ will begin implementing Responder in January 2005 and expects to
be in production by May. The electric operations group, including three to
five operators, will employ the technology to locate outages and dispatch
crews.
“Straight-forward user interface, rapid implementation, GIS-centric
approach, and scalability were among the many reasons Responder was
selected,” said John Long, Manager of Information Services for CoServ.
