Sempra Energy has a large footprint in energy production, but needed a system to share information across its operations sites. AVEVA’s PI System enhanced the company’s data quality and operational intelligence by creating “one version of the truth.” It also saved hundreds of thousands of dollars from increased process efficiency. The PI System united Sempra Energy’s SCADA systems and provided consistent data throughout the organization.
“Our operators now have the most relevant information to make the most informed decisions in operating our power systems.”
Patrick Lee, President, PXiSE, a subsidiary of Sempra Energy
Goal
- Creating a single user interface to manage 70,000 data points across five sites and provide a unified view across the organization.

- Five separate SCADA systems created a cumbersome process with expensive maintenance and upgrades. Unlinked systems made reporting difficult.
Solution
Result
- More than $200,000 saved. One version of the truth available across the company. Better, more accurate reporting in emergencies.
