Southern Power Systems appointed authorized service provider for ABB MV Service products in Louisiana, Mississippi and Alabama

The Power Products Medium Voltage (PPMV) Division of ABB Inc., the leading power and automation technology group, has established Southern Power Systems as an industrial and commercial authorized service provider (ASP) for its aftermarket products and services. As an ASP, Southern Power Systems resources perform field installation, start-up, commissioning, warranty, inspection, testing, and preventive maintenance services on equipment manufactured by PPMV. Utilizing PPMV factory parts and services, Southern Power Systems offers maintenance, repair, refurbishment, and replacement of low and medium voltage switchgear and circuit breakers manufactured by ABB, and its legacy brands and trade names, including Brown Boveri, BBC, Gould, and ITE.

PPMV provides aftermarket products and support to customers through the MV Service organization. Joe Baker, PPMV Senior Vice President & General Manager, announced the agreement as “a logical step to implement a network of authorized service providers to offer customers increased local support services. ASPs provide local augmentation to our internal resources for medium voltage service solutions.” This agreement covers the areas of Louisiana, Mississippi and Alabama. “These are important markets for us because of the density of industrial and commercial customers in the area,” said Baker.

This new ASP agreement strengthens ABB’s partnership with Southern Power Systems and takes advantage of Southern Power System’s knowledge of ABB products. “Southern Power Systems, Inc. was founded on the idea that customer service is our most important role. Industrial and commercial consumers of electrical power require intelligent, reliable and capable support in the sales, service and repair of their equipment. Our primary focus lies in the ABB product lines and we look forward to a lasting relationship with ABB PPMV. We strive to serve our clients as a trusted ally, providing them with the loyalty of a business partner and the economics of an outside vendor. Our goal is to provide our clients with the tools required to run their businesses as well as possible-with maximum efficiency and reliability. It is assumed that all equipment is mission-critical; therefore, we provide our clients the assurance that we will be there when they need us”, said Wade Giles, President of Southern Power Systems, Inc.
