Salt River Project Recognized As A Reliable Public Power Provider

SRP has earned a Reliable Public Power Provider (RP₃)^® designation from the American Public Power Association for providing reliable and safe electric service. 

“Receiving an RP₃ designation is a great honor and demonstrates a utility’s commitment to implementing industry best practices in utility operations,” said Aaron Haderle, manager of Transmission and Distribution Operations at ‎Kissimmee Utility Authority, Florida and chair of the Association’s RP₃ Review Panel. “RP₃ utilities are consistently looking to improve their workforce, system reliability, and safety to serve their communities better.”

The RP₃ designation, which lasts for three years, recognizes public power utilities that demonstrate proficiency in four key disciplines: reliability, safety, workforce development, and system improvement. Criteria include sound business practices and a utility-wide commitment to safe and reliable delivery of electricity. SRP joins more than 275 public power utilities nationwide that hold the RP₃ designation.

“SRP is pleased to earn this top-tier recognition as we work to provide safe, reliable and affordable power to our customers and community,” said John Coggins, Associate General Manager and Chief Power System Executive. “The core areas that this designation ranks are critical to our operational strategy, and it is wonderful to see that that the work we do to support them is among the best in the nation.”

The American Public Power Association has offered the RP₃ designation for 15 years. The Association is the voice of not-for-profit, community-owned utilities that power 49 million people in 2,000 towns and cities nationwide. The Association advocates and advises on electricity policy, technology, trends, training, and operations.
