How Puerto Rico is building a better energy future
On-demand webinar
Achieve resilience with the right technology
Devastated by back-to-back hurricanes, Puerto Rico’s grid was severely damaged in 2017. LUMA — a Puerto Rican company that, since June 1, 2021, has operated and managed the electric power transmission and distribution system in Puerto Rico — is on a mission to rebuild the country’s grid as a more reliable, resilient and cleaner energy system.
Using Hexagon’s geospatial asset management solution to support each phase, from initial network assessment to redesign and implementation, LUMA is now looking to roll out advanced metering infrastructure (AMI) across the island.
Watch the on-demand webinar to learn how LUMA is building a next-generation electric system and preparing to deploy 1.5 million advanced meters. You’ll also hear examples of how to:
- Leverage data to assess grid damage and inform network redesign
- Plan for an AMI rollout and overcome project obstacles
- Utilize mobile capabilities for monitoring and maintaining a network
- Identify and integrate renewable energy sources
