The Fayetteville Public Works Commission (PWC) is one of 17 public power communities across North Carolina, South Carolina and Virginia to receive 2023 Public Power Awards of Excellence.

Presented by ElectriCities of North Carolina, the awards reflect PWC’s commitment to continuously providing outstanding electric service to the community. Public Power Awards of Excellence recognize public power providers for developing a future-focused mindset, strengthening public power, providing superior power, providing customer-centered innovation and prioritizing their people as their greatest asset.

PWC received public power awards in four categories:

The STRENGTHEN PUBLIC POWER AWARD celebrates communities that build public and political support for public power.

The PROVIDE SUPERIOR POWER AWARD highlights communities that deliver reliable, affordable and sustainable electricity.

The CUSTOMER-CENTERED INNOVATION AWARD recognizes public power providers that innovate and invest to serve their communities better.

The PEOPLE AWARD distinguishes cities and towns that leverage their people as their greatest asset.

“I am proud of the dedication of our employees as these four awards reflect their steadfast commitment and the pride they take in doing outstanding work,” said CEO/General Manager for PWC Timothy Bryant in a press release. “Every day, they consistently provide safe, reliable and affordable utility services for our community. The benefits of a public power utility like PWC goes beyond providing value for our customers, it enables us to provide reliable service, create local jobs, and deliver exceptional customer service.”

PWC is honored to be Fayetteville’s hometown utility providing reliable electric and water services with rates that are among the lowest in the state. Their 650+ employees’ commitment to their customers and community is recognized across the state and nation. 

“This year’s Public Power Awards of Excellence recipients are shining examples of the value of public power,” said ElectriCities CEO Roy Jones in a press release. “These outstanding communities prioritize local needs and put their customers first as they develop innovative solutions to provide safe, reliable power with superior service,” said Jones. “We’re honored to celebrate these communities, and we’re grateful for all they do to provide value to their customers.”
