Brentwood Forest residents may see fewer power outages in the future due to new technology bring installed, according to a release from Ameren Missouri.
As part of the company’s efforts to maintain a high level of service reliability for customers and to modernize aging infrastructure, Ameren will install smart grid technology, which will quickly identify an outage and restore customers more quickly.
The area near the Brentwood Forest condos has had some issues with outages in the past, so this should greatly increase customer reliability, an Ameren spokesperson said. The installation is to include an area around High School Drive also.
“Our investments in a smarter grid are all about service reliability for our customers,” said Kevin Anders, vice president of operations & technical services, Ameren Missouri. “We are committed to building a stronger grid to ensure this dependability, and this is why a large portion of the scheduled projects this year include smart grid technology in areas that have aging equipment or locations that have experienced reliability and outage issues that we want to improve.”
