This accolade celebrates the exceptional collaboration between the two companies in enhancing GE Vernova’s Electrification Software and underscores the strength and impact of their partnership.

One of the standout features of ADMS is its Fault Isolation and Service Restoration (FISR) capability. Since its implementation, FISR has been instrumental in mitigating the impact of power outages. It has prevented approximately 2 million customer outages since 2019, highlighting the system’s critical role in maintaining reliable power distribution.
Moore and Miller accepted the award on behalf of Alabama Power, expressing their gratitude and reaffirming their commitment to continued innovation and collaboration. “This award is a testament to the hard work and dedication of our teams,” Moore said. “We are proud of what we have achieved together with GE Vernova and look forward to many more years of successful partnership.”
The recognition of Alabama Power as GE Vernova’s Partner of the Year not only celebrates past achievements but also sets the stage for future innovations. As both companies continue to work together, their shared goal remains clear: to enhance the reliability and efficiency of power delivery systems, ensuring that customers enjoy the dependable service they count on.
