WASHINGTON, D.C. (January 21, 2021) – The Edison Electric Institute (EEI) announced United Illuminating (UI) as a recipient of EEI's Emergency Response Award.
Presented to EEI member companies, Emergency Response Awards recognize recovery and assistance efforts of electric companies following service disruptions caused by extreme weather or other natural events. The winners were chosen by a panel of judges following an international nomination process, and the awards were presented during EEI's virtual Winter Board and Chief Executives Meeting on Jan. 14.
The organization presented UI with an Emergency Response Award for its restoration effort following Tropical Storm Isaias in August of 2020. Two of UI's Avangrid Networks sister companies, Central Maine Power and New York State Electric and Gas, received similar awards.
