COFFEYVILLE MUNICIPAL LIGHT & POWER RECOGNIZED AS A RELIABLE PUBLIC POWER PROVIDER [Washington, D.C., March 23, 2021]
— Coffeyville Municipal Light & Power (CMLP) has again earned a Reliable Public Power Provider (RP3) ® designation from the American Public Power Association for providing reliable and safe electric service. 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. CMLP joins more than 270 public power utilities nationwide that hold the RP3 designation. “I think over the last year or so, we’ve seen the vital importance of running a reliable and safe utility,” says Aaron Haderle, Chair of APPA’s RP3 Review Panel and Manager of Transmission and Distribution Operations at Kissimmee Utility Authority, Florida. “The utilities receiving the RP3 designation have proven that they are committed to running a top-notch public power utility by implementing industry best practices.” “We are honored to once again earn the (RP3) ® Platinum level reliability designation” said Mike Shook, Director of Electric Services for the City of Coffeyville and Coffeyville Municipal Light & Power. “This is the culmination of a lot of hard work from our operations, distribution, and administrative staff who genuinely care about keeping the community powered. We are committed to continuously improving our operations and service to our customers.”
The American Public Power Association has offered the RP3 designation for 16 years now. APPA is the voice of not-for[1]profit, community-owned utilities that power 49 million people in 2,000 towns and cities nationwide.
