What recent technology upgrades mean for you
Although technology is not as visible as the poles, power lines and substations that deliver electricity to homes and businesses, it is equally important. Dakota Electric recently upgraded the technology that helps deliver reliable electricity.
How the project benefits members
Here is how the most recent upgrade will benefit you:
- Helps identify equipment that needs replacement to maintain reliability.
- Reduces outage time by showing dispatchers which crews are working near an outage location.
- Improves restoration efforts after large outages by streamlining work.
- Improves member service by better tracking member concerns and providing more information to field employees.
- Makes your cooperative more efficient by synchronizing information and eliminating the need to update information in multiple programs.
You’ve told us through member surveys that reliability is important to you. As a member-owned cooperative dedicated to serving you, we will continue to invest in power lines and equipment as well as technology that helps us ensure the electricity you use is available when you need it.
