US power leader Dominion Energy gathers and shares data from across its North American grid network using AVEVA Data Hub and AVEVA PI System. This integrated, hybrid cloud digital data highway allows Dominion’s team to turn power grid data into a new source of revenue. Dominion’s customers can view the company’s energy source and performance data to track its sustainability commitments and ensure the company is using energy from low-carbon sources. This visibility enables Dominion’s customers to provide proof of their own net-zero commitments to investors and environmental, social, and governance (ESG) auditors. As a result, Dominion is increasing its profitability and helping to accelerate the low-carbon energy transition in North America.
“By utilizing AVEVA Data Hub, we enable our data to reach the cloud quickly. From there, we can share it with our utility customers so that they can use it. We're turning real-time data on energy sources into a selling point for our company, and this enables our customers to select Dominion over another energy provider. The intelligence of the AVEVA PI System tools means that we can achieve speed-to-market and realize benefits more quickly, for ourselves and our customers.”
-- Riley Moore, Manager, IT Process Systems, Dominion Energy
