• Ameren Illinois selects DVI to deliver the most transformative VO programs (Jan 10, 2020)

  NEWS RELEASE

  Ameren Illinois Selects DVI For Transformative Voltage Optimization Project

  • Energy savings target of 422 GWhrs per year by the end of 2025 — enough to power 42,000 homes
  • Project covers an estimated 1,047 distribution circuits or approximately 64% of Ameren Illinois customers

  RICHMOND, Va. – Dominion Voltage, Inc. (DVI), a subsidiary of Dominion Energy (NYSE: D) and leader in Volt/VAR optimization, or “VO” solutions, announced that it will work with Ameren Illinois to deliver one of the most transformative VO programs in the nation — with a goal of achieving 422 GWhrs in energy savings annually when fully deployed by the end of 2025.

  “Ameren Illinois is an industry leader recognized for its commitment to energy efficiency and environmental stewardship,” said Todd Headlee, Director, DVI. “DVI is proud to be delivering our VO solution to Ameren Illinois as a grid automation application of the future, enabling it to achieve its energy-efficiency goals.”

  "DVI’s approach to VO is the best choice for Ameren Illinois for energy efficiency through voltage optimization," said Ron Pate, Senior Vice President, Operations and Technical Services, Ameren Illinois. "We expect this program to provide many benefits for our customers and we look forward to continued collaboration with DVI to complete this important initiative."

  Among the benefits of DVI’s VO solution, end customers save on their electric bills because homes and businesses run more efficiently. Through VO, the voltage delivered by the utility is consistently several volts lower compared to traditional distribution-management system methods. The process achieves a more efficient grid operation by reducing the customer’s energy consumption, and overall system losses. In contrast to some other energy-efficiency measures, VO requires no behavioral changes by the customer and has no impact on lifestyle while delivering energy savings across all customer classes.

• Canada's Lethbridge Electiric Utility selects DVI's EDGE Solution (Jan 10, 2020)

  NEWS RELEASE                                                                                                                                                                     March 7, 2018

         

  DVI’s EDGE^® Solution to Improve Energy Efficiency,

  Lower Customer Bills for Canada’s Lethbridge Electric Utility

  • Project is aligned with Alberta’s provincial goals of increasing energy savings
  • Utility working group following the project to consider further expansion across province
  • EDGE^® product enables utility to lower customer bills without requiring additional hardware or changes in customer behavior

  RICHMOND, Va. – Today, Dominion Voltage Inc. (DVI), a subsidiary of Dominion Energy (NYSE: D) announced its latest project with Lethbridge Electric Utility (LEU) of Alberta, Canada to enhance energy efficiency and lower customer bills without the use of additional customer-end hardware or

  behavioral changes.

  In 2011, the City of Lethbridge commissioned LEU to begin implementing an Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI) program. Upon completion of this program in May 2017, LEU began researching technologies that could maximize the recent AMI investment to increase energy savings and improve environmental outcomes, such as a reduction in greenhouse gas emissions.

  “Choosing a Volt/Var (“VVO”) solution that takes full advantage of our investment in AMI was very important to us,” said Stewart Purkis, electric utility manager-LEU. “The EDGE^® solution allows our team to have full visibility of voltage readings at each customer location and thereby drive maximum results. DVI has a well-proven product and their team took the time to listen to our goals and support our needs.”

  “It is very rewarding to see an electric utility so passionate about bringing benefits to its customers, to the environment, and to their distribution grid by implementing an AMI-enabled VVO program,” said Todd Headlee, executive director-DVI. “DVI is passionate about working with Lethbridge Electric to launch a project that is likely to be a model for this region in Canada.”

  A working group comprised of each of Alberta’s Distribution Facility Operators is following the outcomes of the project to consider future expansion to their utilities across the province.

  In addition, in support of LEU’s VVO deployment, Alberta Innovates, a provincially-funded corporation, has partnered with the City of Lethbridge to help achieve provincial energy efficiency goals and promote technology-driven job creation in Canada’s dynamic energy sector.
