Reliability Programs• Shapes vision and strategy by developing scoping criteria for new $45M per year program to proactively replace aged poles and associated aerial equipment, coordinates with vegetation management’s scheduled trim cycle to reduce operating & maintenance costs. Align reliability strategy while maintaining 24% savings on tax repair. Ensure program is on track to meet annual regulatory commitments for asset replacement.• Create project diagrams (~$25M per year in capital… Show more Reliability Programs• Shapes vision and strategy by developing scoping criteria for new $45M per year program to proactively replace aged poles and associated aerial equipment, coordinates with vegetation management’s scheduled trim cycle to reduce operating & maintenance costs. Align reliability strategy while maintaining 24% savings on tax repair. Ensure program is on track to meet annual regulatory commitments for asset replacement.• Create project diagrams (~$25M per year in capital projects) to improve distribution system reliability (SAIFI, CAIDI) and reduce outage frequency for Customers Experiencing Multiple Interruptions (CEMI). Design project solution examples include reconductoring, circuit reconfiguration, facility relocates, underground cable replacement, voltage conversions, changes to recloser schemes/settings.• Investigate events and outage data, then conduct circuit patrols to support design projects. • PECO Emerging Leader, Class of 2023, planned and executed “GROW at PECO”, a career development month featuring 6 virtual events and 2 in-person workshops. Organized events with senior leadership.• Plan and lead the March and September Co-Op Presentation Day for all (about 65+) PECO Co-Ops.• Mentor for the Reliability Program’s Co-Op by providing training, projects, oversight, and growth opportunities.
