Silicon Valley Power recognized as a reliable public power provider

Post Date:04/01/2019 10:34 AM

SVP Recognized Reliable Public Power ProviderSANTA CLARA, Calif. – Silicon Valley Power has earned a Reliable Public Power Provider (RP3)® Gold designation from the American Public Power Association for providing reliable and safe electric service. Aaron Haderle, manager of transmission and distribution operations at ‎Kissimmee Utility Authority, Florida, and chair of the Association’s RP3 Review Panel, presented the designations today during the Association’s annual Engineering & Operations Technical Conference held in Colorado Springs, Colorado.

 

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. Silicon Valley Power joins more than 270 public power utilities nationwide that hold the RP3 designation.

 

“Receiving an RP3 designation is a great honor. It demonstrates that a utility strives for a high level of service and is constantly looking to improve,” said Haderle. “Aside from demonstrating reliability, these designated utilities have shown commitment to system improvement, safety and developing a strong and sustainable workforce.”

 

“We take a lot of pride in the work we do to power our community,” said Manuel Pineda, interim chief electric utility officer of Silicon Valley Power. “This national designation as a Reliable Public Power Provider at the Gold Level highlights what makes Silicon Valley Power stand out – we deliver safe, reliable and cost-effective electric utility services that Santa Clara families and businesses value.”
