Power board roundup: AMI gateways, generator tests and maintenance updates
Summary
The board heard updates on AMI gateway installations and cellular modems, generator tests and Sky Mountain construction progress; members also received status reports on tree trimming and upcoming workshops and conferences.
The Hurricane Power Board took up routine operational updates, including an advanced metering infrastructure (AMI) rollout and maintenance work.
Staff reported that nearly all AMI gateways and relays are powered up; seven cellular-modem gateways arrived and are being installed while one substation has a direct fiber connection operational. Eaton, the system integrator, will schedule training with the utility office once staff finish preliminary validation. A test period for installing meters and verifying communications is planned in the coming weeks.
Separately, staff said generators had been returned to service and a recent oil-filtration program had preserved parts and reduced spare-parts use. A building project (Sky Mountain) was reported at roughly 30% completion for wall work; tree-trimming work is about halfway through the scheduled addresses.
The board approved the minutes at the meeting start and closed without scheduling any closed sessions.
