Summary

City staff announced two American Public Power Association recognitions: a Certificate of Achievement for Excellence in Reliability and the RP3 (Reliable Public Power Provider) designation, acknowledging reliability, safety and workforce development efforts.

Staff reported that the city received two recognitions from the American Public Power Association (APPA): a Certificate of Achievement for Excellence in Reliability, noting the city “significantly exceeded the 5 year average for all US electric utilities for reliable electric service,” and the RP3 designation, a three-year recognition for reliability, safety, workforce development and system improvement.

Why it matters: The awards highlight the electric utility’s performance and can be used in economic-development and public-information efforts; staff credited recent AMI implementation and internal maintenance practices for improved data and reliability metrics.

Staff noted the certificate marks the third consecutive year the city has received top reliability honors since joining APPA in 2022 and said the RP3 designation recognizes four key disciplines: reliability, safety, workforce development and system improvement. No council action was required.
