New York Electric Utility Places Additional Order with Nighthawk Systems

Nighthawk produced customized firmware for Central Hudson in the fall of 2007, which led to successful field testing and an initial order of CEO700s in January 2008. Based on the benefits produced by the initial program, Central Hudson recently placed an additional order for units to expand the program in 2009. The CEO700 gives electric utilities the ability to wirelessly disconnect and reconnect power to residential electric meters from a centralized location, improving customer service response times and saving the utility significant time and money over the traditional manual disconnect method that requires multiple truck rolls and field personnel.

H. Douglas Saathoff, Nighthawk's CEO, stated, "Electric utilities have a renewed focus on investing in technology this year in order to operate more efficiently, and I'm very pleased to expand our relationship with Central Hudson with this recent order. We have a proven track record of success, and I look forward to working with many utilities that will expand or initiate automation programs with Nighthawk products this year."
