Weathering the Storm:

Comprehensive Outage Management and Rapid Service Restoration

Clay Electric Cooperative, one of the largest electric co-ops in the U.S., serves nearly 200,000 members across 15 counties in Florida—an area prone to severe hurricanes. Known for its exceptional service and 99.91% reliability, Clay Electric embraced innovation early by deploying Landis+Gyr’s Mesh IP AMI network in 2017. This secure, high-speed communications infrastructure connects 200,000 smart meters across urban and rural areas, enabling real-time data exchange, advanced outage management, and rapid restoration. In 2024, this technology proved critical as three hurricanes struck in a single season, impacting up to half of its members.
