Red Clay Consulting Successfully Upgrades American Electric Power’s Meter Data Management System

American Electric Power to Transform its Smart Metering Capabilities with Oracle Utilities Meter Data Management Solution

Columbus, Ohio – May 22, 2017 – Today Red Clay Consulting, a Gold Level Oracle Partner has announced it has completed the successful upgrade of American Electric Power’s meter data management system from Oracle Utilities Meter Data Management (MDM) version 1.6 to the platform’s new version 2.1.0.3.

The upgrade project was aimed at converting historical usage and customer data into the latest MDM version to meet AEP and market requirements. The effort was completed in approximately six weeks and successfully converted nearly 2 million active AMI meters and corresponding customer data across four unique AEP operating companies and five states.  The new MDM version will allow AEP to better serve their clients and further enable smart meter technology within the company.

According to Paul Marnell, Managing Partner at Red Clay Consulting, “This was an outstanding conversion from LODESTAR to the newest version of Oracle Utilities MDM for American Electric Power.  Red Clay and AEP successfully partnered to make this project a success, while supporting all market and settlement requirements for the Texas ERCOT market. With this implementation, we have added to an impressive delivery record stretching more than ten years of implementing these products. AEP was an exceptional partner, and I’m thrilled we could once again deliver a successful project.”
