SWIFTPOWER TECHNOLOGIES LTD shall maintain a data center that also serves as a head-end to the prepaid/smart meter infrastructure. With large round-the clock customer loads that require dual redundant feeds, the data center will pioneer in retail power corporate service delivery and customer care. Providing access to customer energy use data from upgraded prepayment meters can help state and federal government policymakers reach their efficiency metrics, renewable energy parameters, development and climate goals faster. Data access will accelerate energy efficiency because people exhibit greater conservation behaviors when stimulated by granular feedback rather than by monthly bills alone. The lack of data access is significant, measurable in the tens of millions of dollars which make energy efficiency unnecessarily expensive.
If a utility failure occur due to severe weather, vandalism, equipment failure or power line damage, the data center will be well equipped to identify the problem and avoid costly periods of downtime and loss of data with the use of additional redundant power. Installation of the CIU devices configured to the SWIFTPOWER operating system allows service access by the data center which is mirrored to the utility servers.
