PROJECT DELIVERY
APC Fiber
The APC Fiber to Distribution
Program is an effort to install Fiber in locations across the state of AL to significantly
enhance the speed, reliability and redundancy of the SCADA traffic in the areas where it
is deployed. The network objectives include more effective coordination between these
devices, deployment of state-of-the-art complex “self-healing” redundant networks, and
more effective energy efficiency systems (CVR) throughout the APC footprint. This
program will also install AMI meters for use with the One Minute Data effort and enable
the opportunity for the use of leftover "dark fiber". This project is a shared leadership
project, being co-led by Gail Greif and Melissa Ledbetter.
Enterprise Foundations
The Enterprise Foundations (EF) Project is currently hyper focused
on completing the core design for the entire effort. Additionally, EF
is going through a project re-plan effort. The current plan calls for a
release date of 5/1/21. This release plan calls for Electrics, Gas, SCS
and HR to be delivered in a unified release. The decision has been
made to bifurcate the releases by Electrics/SCS (R3) and Gas/HR
(R3). The specific timeline is expected to be identified by the end of
November 2020. The goal will be to deliver Electrics/SCS mid-
2021 and Gas/HR in early 2021. The Electrics began the phase of system integration
testing (cycle 2) in mid-November 2020, with a January 2021 completion. R3
deployment planning will begin in January 2021. READ MORE
