We received the 2013 ReliabilityOne™ national award recently for superior reliability of our electric system.
The national award is based on our performance for the year 2012, and is given annually by PA Consulting Group to utilities that have excelled in delivering the most reliable electric service to their customers.
All utilities operating electric delivery networks in North America are eligible for the ReliabilityOne Award. The selection is based primarily on statistics that measure the frequency and duration of customer outages. After initial recipients are identified, each potential winner undergoes an on-site certification -- an independent review of the processes and systems used to collect, analyze and report a company's reliability results.
We also received – for the ninth time in the past 12 years -- the ReliabilityOne Award for outstanding electric reliability performance in the Midwest. There are five regional awards -- Northeast, Mid-Atlantic, Midwest, Plains and West.
We have made significant investments in recent years to strengthen the reliability of our network by rebuilding hundreds of miles of distribution lines, and building and upgrading substations and other infrastructure. Our forestry management also has been recognized for responsible tree trimming practices to keep branches from coming into contact with power lines.
“ReliabilityOne Award winners are characterized by their total commitment to service quality,” said Jeff Lewis, PA Consulting Group’s ReliabilityOne program director. “We Energies demonstrates its commitment to electric reliability every day from the senior leadership to the field crews and customer service representatives. To be the best in this industry, the entire organization must focus, align and motivate around reliability.”
