In recent years, CORE has invested in technologies that continue to help us operate more efficiently, reduce their costs and minimize financial impacts to theur members. Those investments include:
- They wrapped up installation of Advanced Metering Infrastructure, which replaced more than 165,000 meters throughout their system.
- Last year CORE avoided at least 50,000 “truck rolls” thanks to AMI. The new meters also helps them identify and more quickly address voltage and other issues, and make it easier to spot power diversions – both intentional and unintentional – in which energy is being consumed free of charge.
Account Management
Earlier this year, they converted their account management system to a new platform that already has made their billing processes more efficient.
The new platform also includes the SmartHub account portal, which makes it easy for members to access usage info, enrol in Paperless Billing, levelize their bills via Budget Billing, and activate other services for efficiency and savings.
Renewables
Their renewable energy capacity will be more than 165 megawatts. Energy from their utility-scale renewable investments comes at or below avoided cost, which is what CORE would otherwise pay for the same amount of energy from other sources.
