“I manage the Control Center personnel. My team is responsible for Outage Management which includes monitoring our Electric Distribution system for problems and outages. They take a proactive approach to predict outages that have occurred. This allows us to respond more quickly to outages and reduce outage time. They dispatch the appropriate personnel depending on the outage situation to restore power safely and efficiently. I genuinely love what I do for AVECC. I get to work directly with some really great people every day, that are really good at their jobs."
