SAM image Welcome to our last edition of The Connection for 2011!
As we bring a close to this year, we would like to share with you one of our customer's success on a project upgrade. Be sure to check out the "Buzz" to read about the Tasley Energy Center's success in their combustion turbine control system upgrade. I would also like to point out this issue of the 3QQs centered around energy efficiency, a hot topic for all of us.

In the events area, we hope to see you at the upcoming Power-Gen International conference taking place December 13 – 15th. Please visit our booth, #4416!

And as a reminder, if you have other colleagues who are interested in ABB Power & Water solutions, please forward this newsletter to them using the "Forward to a friend" feature above and encourage them to subscribe for future issues by using the link at the bottom of the newsletter.
