May 22, 2009 (M2 EQUITYBITES via COMTEX) --
GE | Quote | Chart | News | PowerRating -- GE Energy, a supplier of power generation and energy delivery
technologies, and a division of General Electric Company (NYSE:GE),
announced on Thursday (21 May) that it has completed the installation
of smart grid technologies at Colorado Springs Utilities (CSU),
Colorado, US.

GE said that this installation will help CSU overcome the two major
challenges of power interruptions, restoration and customer
communications.

The newly installed GE PowerOn Outage Management System (OMS) helps CSU
respond more quickly to power outages, while providing consumers with
updated restoration-time estimates when outages do occur.

GE said that it is currently enhancing the system with PowerOn Mobile,
which will put more real-time information and communications
capabilities in the hands of crews in the field.

Also, a future project phase will integrate the OMS with CSU's new
smart meters and automated metering infrastructure, which will help
detect outages sooner and restore service faster.

Financial details were not available.
