This latest SCADA initiative is significant as it will ensure that we have the most modern monitoring and control system to deliver power reliably to the citizens of Vineland,” said Thomas Dunmore II, senior engineer at Vineland Municipal Electric Utility. “Due to SourceOne’s success on previous project partnerships, as well as their proven track record of working with municipalities and utilities, we are pleased to have selected them through a competitive bid process to oversee this critical SCADA project.”

This is particularly important in Southern New Jersey where a large amount of Solar PV capacity has come onto the grid over the past few years.

When considering the extreme weather that has hit the Northeast in recent years, including Superstorm Sandy, it is critical that utilities and municipalities have systems in place that can both monitor functionality with built-in redundancy. The system we are designing will enable VMEU to set up virtual control rooms that can be utilized at multiple locations to ensure system integrity during emergencies.”
