Fayetteville PWC has been designated as a Smart Energy Provider by the American Public Power Association.
The designation was awarded to PWC on Oct. 26 at the APPA Customer Connections Conference.
“We are proud to be recognized as a utility at the forefront of smart energy best practices,” said Elaina Ball, PWC CEO and general manager. “This SEP designation represents our dedication to offering programs that help our customers save money, reduce our collective environmental impact, and support our community’s responsible energy use.”
This is the second time Fayetteville PWC has received the designation.
The designation lasts for two years and is given to public power utilities that “demonstrate leading practices” in the following areas: smart energy program structure; energy efficiency and distributed energy programs; environmental and sustainability initiatives; and customer experience.
In particular, the initiatives of PWC’s that were noted in the designation are: the Community Solar and Battery Storage Project, the Time of Use Electric Rates, customer incentive programs promoting energy conservation, public electric vehicle charging Stations, and research and participation in the APPA DEED (Demonstration of Energy & Efficiency Developments) programs, the press release from PWC said.
Across the country, over 90 public power utilities hold this designation.
“Utilities that earn the SEP designations are going the extra mile beyond providing electricity for their communities,” said Matt Hein, energy services manager of Cedar Falls Utilities in Cedar Falls, Iowa and chair of the Energy Innovation Committee. “This designation celebrates utilities that are committed to serving their customers with leading smart energy programs and energy services. These communities should be proud that their utilities are focused on providing excellent service while planning for the future.”
