Dominion Voltage Inc. said Wednesday it would work with Ameren
Illinois on a voltage optimization project which will cover about
64% of Ameren Illinois customers.
Voltage optimization lowers voltage in an electrical
distribution system, reducing system losses and customers' energy
use. "In contrast to some other energy-efficiency measures, VO
requires no behavioral changes by the customer and has no impact on
lifestyle while delivering energy savings across all customer
classes," the companies said.
The project is targeting savings of 422 GWHrs by the end of
2025, which is enough electricity to power 42,000 homes, the
companies said.
"DVI's approach to VO is the best choice for Ameren Illinois for
energy efficiency through voltage optimization," said Ron Pate,
Senior Vice President, Operations and Technical Services, Ameren
Illinois.
Dominion Voltage Inc. is a subsidiary of Dominion Energy
(D).
Ameren Illinois delivers energy to 1.2 million electric and
816,000 natural gas customers in Illinois.
