Columbia’s electric system’s wins reliability award	

COLUMBIA, MO (May 27, 2015) - Columbia Water & Light is one of 191 of the nation’s more than 2,000 public power utilities to earn the Reliable Public Power ProviderTM (RP3) recognition. It is an award from the American Public Power Association (APPA) for providing consumers with the highest degree of reliable and safe electric service. 

            

The RP3 designation recognizes public power utilities that demonstrate proficiency in four key disciplines: reliability, safety, training and system improvement. Criteria within each category are based on sound business practices and represent a utility-wide commitment to safe and reliable delivery of electricity. This is Columbia’s fifth time to receive the RP3 designation since 2007. The RP3 designation now lasts for three years

 

Kenneth Stone, energy services and accounting manager at Braintree Electric Light Department of Braintree, Mass., and executive committee member of APPA’s RP3 Review Panel, presented the designees last week during the association’s annual Engineering & Operations Technical Conference held in Sacramento, CA. Utilities that have earned APPA’s RP3 designation are implementing best practices for the industry, and are a testament to public power’s commitment to serving their community,” said Stone.

 

 

“We’re honored to receive the RP3 designation,” said Ryan Williams, Assistant Director of Columbia Water & Light. “Our utility staff puts in a lot of hard work to serve this community.  RP3 represents a much appreciated recognition of this hard work.”

 

This is the tenth year that RP3 recognition has been offered.  APPA is the national organization representing more than 2,000 not-for-profit, community- and state- owned electric utilities.  It is located in Arlington, VA.
