Case Study: South Plains Electric Cooperative keeps cotton gin season safe with Ubicquia's real-time transformer monitoring

South Plains Electric Cooperative prevents transformer overloads with Ubicquia real-time monitoring

South Plains Electric Cooperative faced significant safety challenges during the cotton gin harvest season in West Texas, where enormous seasonal power loads at highly combustible facilities created a high risk of catastrophic transformer overloads and fires. To address this, they partnered with vendor Ubicquia and deployed its UbiGrid® DTM+ monitors.

Ubicquia's solution replaced unreliable interval-based estimates with live, real-time data, providing SPEC's engineers with the confidence to safely plan maintenance operations. This enabled the utility to proactively catch developing issues before they could escalate into fires or outages, thereby keeping crews and the harvest safe.
