The Grid Mod Pod Episode #80: Safe. Smart. Strategic. | Southern Power Company’s Award Winning Contractor Management Strategy
How do you evolve manual, fragmented contractor management processes into a unified strategy that protects workers and strengthens the bottom line?
Veriforce Director of Utility Client Services Chris Stockton and Southern Power Company Health & Safety Principal AJ Hester break it all down with AEIC Vice President of Technical Strategy Dr. Elizabeth Cook.
Southern Power Company, a leading US wholesale energy provider with over 13,000 megawatts of generating capacity, used Veriforce WorkerPass to bridge the gap between people and process; enabling contractors to arrive fully compliant and ready to work before arriving onsite during generation outages.
THE RESULTS
The result? Reduced downtime, stronger contractor visibility, safety and consistency across operations. This cutting-edge partnership earned Southern Power Company one of AEIC’s 2025 Annual Achievement Awards.
- $930K in paid labor savings reclaimed
- 11,815+ contract worker records digitized and centralized
- 509+ compliance gaps identified and resolved before on site arrival
