National Grid Case Study
For National Grid, Spot has become a critical component of the energy provider’s everyday operations—helping to ensure employee safety, boost productivity, and support equipment uptime.
At National Grid’s HVDC converter station in Central Massachusetts, business leaders are constantly striving to maximize the facility’s uptime while keeping workers safe.
The converter station is a 2,000-megawatt facility, meaning it has around the same capacity as two typical nuclear power plants. It supplies more than 10 percent of New England’s total power, and any disruption—especially any significant period of unplanned downtime—could force National Grid to seek out costly backup sources of power to meet customers’ demands.
