The Fayetteville Public Works Commission recently announced that it earned the Reliable Public Power Provider (RP3)® Diamond designation from the American Public Power Association (APPA) for providing reliable and safe electric service.
The award was presented on March 28 in Texas at the APPA’s annual Engineering & Operations Conference.
Although more than 275 public power utilities nationwide hold the RP3 designation, only PWC earned the award’s highest designation –Diamond Level- for the sixth time in the award’s history and is one of only two utilities that have earned the Diamond Level designation six or more times.
“I think over the last year or so, we’ve seen the vital importance of running a reliable and safe utility,” PA’s RP3 Review Panel and Manager of Transmission and Distribution Operations at Kissimmee Utility Authority, Florida. “The utilities receiving the RP3 designation have proven that they are committed to
running a top-notch public power utility by implementing industry best practices.”
“I’m proud PWC continues to be recognized among the top performing public power utilities in the nation,” said Elaina Ball, PWC CEO/General Manager. “This is a great testament to the dedication of our PWC team. They are your friends and neighbors who you depend on day in and day out to provide essential, award-winning service.”
The RP3 designation lasts for three years and is awarded to public power utilities that show outstanding practices and utility-wide commitment to safe and reliable delivery of electricity. PWC received a 100% score in the award criteria for
reliability, safety, workforce development, and system improvement.
“This is the sixth time PWC has achieved the highest level possible of this assessment,” added Jon Rynne, PWC’s Chief Operating Officer of Electric Systems. “This demonstrates that our employees are all doing their best to provide the highest level of service and value to the customers we serve.”
