CSU Hits Metering Project Milestone
Colorado Springs Utilities (CSU; Colorado Springs, Colorado, U.S.), a community-owned utility serving customers in Colorado Springs and the surrounding area, has surpassed 280,000 endpoints deployed of its electric, gas, water and waste water advanced metering project that started in 2005. When the rollout is complete in 2010, CSU will be using the utility-owned radio-frequency mesh network to read more than 528,000 electric, gas and water meters, maintaining its status as the largest combined four-service advanced metering project in the United States.
CSU anticipates that, when fully deployed, the Cellnet+Hunt system will save the utility over US$6 million per year in hard operating cost, not including the operational benefits the utility expects to achieve through the deployment of a fixed network.
