Open Systems International, Inc. (OSI) has been awarded a new contract by City Water, Light & Power (CWLP) of Springfield, Illinois, to replace their legacy SCADA/EMS system with a new system based on OSI's state-of-the-art monarch™ (Multi-platform Open Network ARCHitecture) platform.
CWLP is the largest municipally owned electric system in Illinois, providing power to approximately 70,000 electric customers in an eighty-square-mile service territory in and around Springfield. The total population served by CWLP is over 120,000.
