AvR finished the year with 100% starting reliability and a 100% Equivalent Availability Factor (EAF) across the seven months CPS Energy designates as most critical to grid reliability.
Not because CPS Energy built something new, but because it fundamentally changed how it ran something it already had.
Cross-functional teams from operations, maintenance, and engineering worked together to identify systemic vulnerabilities across plant equipment, maintenance planning, and operational response.
CPS Energy shifted its outage season philosophy from a lone fall outage to two seasonal readiness outages.
The metric CPS Energy highlights most, however, is one it created for itself.
