Location: System Wide
The Updated Meter Installation project replaced existing meters across UEC’s service territory. The new automated meters will help UEC’s ongoing efforts to improve service reliability.
In recent years, UEC has upgraded its control and data systems, outage management and field equipment to help operators at its command center in Hermiston more quickly detect and respond to outages with accurate location prediction, reducing the need to send a crew to manually check miles for power lines. The new meters build upon that system.
