Backhaul communications description | The wide area network is a combination of frame relay and pots phone service to our distribution substations included in the deployment of smart meters to 99% of our distribution customers. The plan calls for the installation of backhaul communications in 144 distribution substations. | $7,723,190 |
Meter communications network | At the distribution system level the TWACS system uses the distribution electrical communications system to communicate with all smart meters installed on electrical system served by the distribution substation. Communications with each meter is completed daily in 4 communication sessions. | |
Head end server | The AMI system is operated through the Aclara TWACS Net Server software. | $1,215,998 |
Meter data analysis system | IPC has just installed a new Enterprise Data Warehouse (EDW) system. Hourly meter data is stored here. Any new meter data analysis will use the EDW. | |

* In some circumstances, costs are incurred before devices are installed resulting in a reported cost where the quantity is zero.
* All dollar figures are the total cost, which is the sum of the federal investment and cost share of the recipient (the recipient cost share must be at least 50% of the total overall project cost).
** In some cases the number of entities reporting is greater than the total number of projects funded by the Recovery Act because some projects have multiple sub-projects that report data. View list of sub-projects.
