FPUA Recognized as Reliable Public Power Provider

Designation for reliability, safety, workforce development and grid improvements. 

Fort Pierce Utilities Authority has earned a Reliable Public Power Provider (RP3)® Platinum designation from the American Public Power Association for providing reliable and safe electric service.

The RP3 Platinum designation, which lasts for three years, recognizes public power utilities that demonstrate 90-97 percent 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.  FPUA joins more than 271 public power utilities nationwide that hold the RP3 designation.

“Receiving an RP3 Platinum designation is a great honor signifying a utility has demonstrated commitment to industry best practices,” said Troy Adams, Chair of APPA’s RP3 Review Panel and General Manager at Manitowoc Public Utilities, Wisconsin. "And ultimately, the culture developed from this pursuit of excellence and continued improvement through the RP3 program results in measurable value delivered to the local community.”

“We couldn’t be prouder to be honored with a Platinum designation,” said Craig Crawford, FPUA director of electric and gas systems. “This is the culmination of a lot of work from a lot of people who really care about powering our community. But this designation is not a final destination. We are committed to continuing to look for ways to improve our operations and service to our customers.”
