The department that keeps the lights on in Fort Morgan has been recognized nationally for its service for a second time.
A press release from the city of Fort Morgan announced that the Fort Morgan Light & Power Department has earned its second Reliable Public Power Provider (RP3) designation from the American Public Power Association for providing reliable and safe electric service.
The RP3 designation lasts for three years, from May 1, 2020 through April 30, 2023. The designation recognizes community-owned, not-for-profit public power utilities that exhibit operational excellence and demonstrate leading practices in:
· Reliability: The reliability of an electric system goes beyond keeping the lights on. It also involves important steps like collecting and analyzing reliability data and committing to cyber and physical security.
· Safety: Creating a culture of safety, ensuring safe standards for employees and customers. Commitment to safety must begin with top management, adherence to a thorough safety manual, and should be included in all aspects of operations from generation to line work.
· Workforce Development: Dedicated employees are the key to a great utility. Offering professional development and networking opportunities help show employees that they are valued, while succession planning and recruitment efforts ensure continuity in a changing work force.
· System Improvement: Utilities maintain the integrity of their systems and promote long-term planning by keeping an eye on the future through research and development and a commitment to system betterment programs, which can help utilities provide reliable services in the future.
“This is a great honor,” said Doug Linton, Light and Power Superintendent for the City of Fort Morgan. “We take a lot of pride in the work we do to power our community. It’s nice to be recognized as among the ‘best of the best’ on a national level.”
The Fort Morgan Light and Power Department joins more than 275 public power utilities nationwide that hold the RP3 designation.
