Memphis, TN – In a significant move aimed at enhancing efficiency and service reliability, Memphis Light, Gas and Water (MLGW) is seeking millions of dollars to construct a state-of-the-art control center. The proposed facility will play a crucial role in monitoring and managing the utility services for the city and surrounding areas.
MLGW officials revealed that the existing control center, which has become outdated, struggles to keep up with the demands of modern utility management. The new facility is expected to incorporate advanced technologies that streamline operations, enhance response times during emergencies, and improve overall service delivery to the community.
“Our current control center has served us well, but it’s time to pave the way for a more innovative approach,” said MLGW President and CEO J.T. Young. “With this new center, we will better protect our infrastructure and serve our customers.”
The proposal for funding has been submitted to the city for review, and MLGW is optimistic about moving forward with the project. The utility is currently facing challenges in keeping pace with the rapid advancements in technology and infrastructure needs.
As part of the plan, MLGW is also examining potential collaborations with technology providers to ensure that the new control center is built to accommodate future advancements in utility management.
Community leaders and residents are invited to participate in upcoming discussions regarding the control center proposal. Supporters believe that the investment will not only improve service reliability but also bolster the local economy by creating jobs during construction and operation.
