Case Study: REA Energy Cooperative achieves more accurate, efficient engineering planning with NISC's DEW

REA Energy Cooperative saves 20% more time with NISC DEW

REA Energy Cooperative, an electric utility based in Pennsylvania, faced a challenge when outsourcing engineering work for its long-term plan. While they had recently implemented NISC's Distributed Engineering Workstation (DEW) and benefited from its deep system integration and accuracy, they anticipated these efficiencies would be lost on an external consultant not using the same software.

NISC's DEW solution provided a highly integrated platform that automatically gathered data from the cooperative's GIS, metering, and analytics systems. This resulted in the creation of far more accurate system models with real-time interval data, eliminating the need for manual data entry and cumbersome approximations. For both REA Energy Cooperative and their consultant, PSE, the use of NISC's software led to a superior work plan, provided PSE with a significant future time savings estimate of 20%, and opened new business opportunities for the consulting firm.
