Portion of distribution system with SCADA due to SGIG/SGD program | 0% | SCADA is operational for all but a few devices. The system is in cleanup and tuning phase. |
Portion of distribution system with DA due to SGIG/SGD program | 32.00% | "576 installations are complete. Expected benefits at that time are improved power factor resulting in smaller energy losses and ultimately reduced generation. Cap bank controls are being ""turned on"" to automate Volt/VAR control as time and logistics allow." |

Other functions | No | Power factor optimization started to be turned on the first week in December 2012 with about 73% configured by the end of December 2012. The NMS interface is still being tuned as is the entire VAR control system. This project will enable WPL to maintain power factor levels closer to unity automatically. One year data has been gathered for selected substations and will be used as a baseline Vs data after the devices have been installed. |
* 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.
