[ARCHIVED] Danville Utilities receives national recognition

Danville Utilities is one of 176 of the nation’s more than 2,000 public power utilities to earn Reliable Public Power Provider (RP3®) recognition from the American Public Power Association for providing consumers with the highest degree of reliable and safe electric service.

Brent McKinney, manager, electric transmission and distribution at City Utilities of Springfield, Mo., and chair of APPA’s RP3 Review Panel, presented the designees on Monday during the association’s annual Engineering & Operations Technical Conference in Cleveland, Ohio.

“RP3 utilities are serving their customers at the very highest level,” McKinney said. “These utilities have demonstrated that they are providing excellent service now as well as keeping their eyes forward on improvements for the future.”

The RP3 designation recognizes public power utilities that demonstrate proficiency in four key disciplines: reliability, safety, workforce development 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.

“Receiving the RP3 designation means a lot to us,” said Jim Kendrick, director of Danville Utilities. “It’s an honor to be recognized on a national level for the work we are doing here locally in Danville.”

This is the seventh 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 Washington, D.C.
