Consumers Energy Integrates Telvent's Smart Grid OMS Responder With AMI Technology

MADRID, Spain, May 19, 2009 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Telvent (Nasdaq:TLVT), the IT
company for a sustainable and secure world, announced today that Consumers
Energy is integrating Responder, Telvent's smart grid outage management system
(OMS), with its new Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI) technology. Based on
this integration and testing of various AMI options, Consumers Energy, a
Jackson, Michigan-based utility, will leverage intelligent meter data in
Responder for enhanced network analysis and management, including outage
prediction and restoration efforts.

The utility deployed Responder as an extension of its existing ArcFM(tm)
geographic information system in July 2008. This software has been integrated
with Consumers Energy's enterprise systems, including the work management
systems that control mobile crew communications and the SAP customer service
system. Responder proved its functionality and reliability during and after a
major winter storm late last year, when it provided real-time outage location
information and helped the utility manage 300 crews to restore power to more
than 210,000 customers.

Currently, Consumers Energy is integrating the Responder outage management
system with its AMI test lab located at the Smart Services Learning Center in
Jackson, Michigan. Telvent's Utilities Group defined the software requirements
and enhanced the core software functionality needed to meet the high throughput
requirements for AMI events. The integration framework also includes development
based on industry standards for communication and information delivery.

"Responder's ability to handle and manage AMI events is a key component of our
smart grid strategy, which will enhance our outage awareness, optimize
restoration and improve customer service," said Wayne Longcore, director of
enterprise architecture and standards for Consumers Energy.
