“…the nation’s first comprehensive, consumer-centric, data-driven system for evaluating power system performance.
As the U.S. moves toward a more intelligent, cleaner electricity system, a growing number of consumers are demanding improvements in power delivery as well as greater choice in the type of power they use and how they use it. The PPSoA program provides much-needed metrics and design criteria that help industry stakeholders:
- Eliminate interruptions and improve safety and power quality;
- Be cost-competitive with greater transparency;
- Increase system efficiency and significantly reduce environmental impacts; and
- Enable and encourage consumer and community participation. “
