What is at stake.
Outage windows on the existing grid are scarce and booked months ahead. Landowner access, environmental windows and long-lead breakers and transformers all sit on the critical path. New industrial and data center load is waiting to connect.
How we control it.
What our schedulers and cost engineers are doing on this project.
Program IMS
Line segments, substations, outages and energization sit in one integrated P6 schedule tied to each customer's connection date.
Outage planning
Outage requests are scheduled with their prerequisites, so no window is booked before the work is ready for it.
Long-lead equipment
Breakers, transformers and relay panels are tracked from factory to site, with float to the substation they serve.
Risk and EVM
Monthly Monte Carlo analysis and earned value give leadership P80 energization dates and an honest cost forecast.
Where it stands.
An outage window is the scarcest thing on a grid program. We never let one go to waste.
