The Challenge

A large electric utility in Texas faced mounting challenges in managing its SF₆ inventory spread across multiple locations. Disconnected inventory tracking methods created risks of mismanagement, unaccounted emissions, and compliance gaps as state and federal regulatory requirements evolved. The utility sought a comprehensive solution that would centralize inventory, improve accountability, and enhance transparency.
