Our fleet performance and diagnostics center, an industry first, is helping us further improve the reliability and efficiency of our fossil-fueled power plants.

Plant performance is monitored continuously, and personnel can establish live data and video links between the center and plant control rooms to prevent and solve problems.

Generating unit and component performance is tracked to determine how we can make improvements in operations.

Last year, the center received the power industry Excellence in Engineering Award from the Southeast Electric Exchange.
