WASHINGTON, D.C.,  – Clinton Utilities Board (CUB) is one of 84 of the nation’s more than 2,000 public power utilities to earn Reliable Public Power Provider^TM (RP₃) recognition from the American Public Power Association for providing consumers with the highest degree of reliable and safe electric service.  Terry Huval, director of utilities for Lafayette, La., Utilities System, and chair of the APPA Board of Directors, presented the designees on April 23, during the association’s annual Engineering & Operations Technical Conference, held in Indianapolis, Ind.  CUB’s Assistant General Manager and Director of Engineering & Operations, Ernie Bowles, was on hand to accept the award on behalf of the utility.

“RP3 designees exemplify the highest standards of utility operations,” said Paul Allen, vice president, engineering at Nashville, Tenn., Electric Service and chair of APPA’s RP3 Review Panel. “These utilities are leading the way in providing reliable and safe electric service to their communities.”

The RP₃ 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.

“We’re thrilled to join the ranks of RP₃ designees around the country,” said Greg Fay, CUB’s General Manager. “This recognition is a testament to the quality work our employees do everyday.”

This is the third year that the RP₃ award has been offered.  APPA is the national organization representing more than 2,000 not-for-profit, community and state-owned electric utilities.  CUB’s electric system spans six (6) counties and includes some 1,500 miles of high voltage distribution lines supplying electric service to over 29,000 customers.
