Energy Provider Taps BlackHawk DATACOM to Secure 754 Wind Turbines

LAFAYETTE, La., June 17, 2018 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- BlackHawk DATACOM is excited to announce a large multi-site contract award to secure 754 wind turbines for a major energy provider at eight wind power generation facilities encompassing tens of thousands of acres of land in Texas, Nebraska, California, Illinois, and Kansas, as well as the wind division's main office.

Critical Infrastructure Security Requirements

Physical security standards development for power generation facilities is the Critical Infrastructure Protection (CIP) Committee's directive, carried out under the North American Electric Reliability Corporation (NERC) CIP guidelines to protect the electrical subsector of the United States. When the energy provider knew they needed to meet the NERC CIP guidelines, it was time to partner with BlackHawk DATACOM for the proper access control lock solution.
