The Fayetteville Public Works Commission is one of 15 public power communities across North Carolina to receive a 2022 Public Power Award of Excellence. ElectriCities of North Carolina, Inc., presented 15 North Carolina communities with Public Power Awards of Excellence at ElectriCities’ 2023 Annual Conference held in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina.
“I am proud to have joined an organization that has such a tremendous history of excellence and especially proud of our employees’ unwavering dedication and the pride they take to providing safe, reliable, and affordable power to our community,” said Tim Bryant, PWC CEO/General Manager, in a press release. “Being powered by a municipally owned electric system is a tremendous benefit to Fayetteville and to our customers. It enables us to deliver more reliable service than other providers, as well as local jobs and unmatched customer service.”
PWC received public power awards in five categories that align with ElectriCities of NC’s strategic priorities:
“There is tremendous value in public power, and this year’s Public Power Awards of Excellence recipients are going above and beyond to demonstrate that value and move public power’s future forward,” said ElectriCities CEO Roy Jones in a press release. “These awards demonstrate the connection city/town has in prioritizing local needs, putting their customers first using innovative solutions that provide safe, reliable power, and leveraging their workforce to provide exceptional service to the community. I’m honored to recognize city/town and the public power employees who put in the hard work each day to power their neighborhoods.”
