Norwich — Among public power companies across the nation, Norwich Public Utilities is a straight-A student in the grading of its record on providing a reliable and safe electric service, according to the American Public Power Association.
Every three years, the association invites public utilities to apply for a designation as a Reliable Public Power Provider, called an RP3 designation. An 18-member panel rates each utility’s reliability, safety, workforce development and system improvement.
NPU scored a 99 out of a possible top score of 100, earning the highest Diamond Level rating, Eric McDermott, NPU electric integrity manager, who coordinates NPU’s application, told the Board of Public Utilities Commissioners on Tuesday.
