Pierre’s Electric Department has caught the eye of the American Public Power Association (APPA) for the exceptional electric reliability Pierre provided its customers in 2020.
According to data compiled from APPA’s eReliability Tracker service, those served by Pierre Municipal Utilities experienced an average of seven minutes of power outages in 2020; the five-year national average is about 317 minutes without power per year based on U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) data. Because of those statistics, Pierre received the Excellence in Reliability award, outshining more than 75% of all electric utilities in the nation.
“I’m very proud of the system we have built and the work of our electrical team,” said Pierre Mayor Steve Harding. “Our electric department understands what it takes to provide excellent service, and they do it well.”
