The Grand River Dam Authority has been recognized across the public power electric utility industry for its reliable and safe delivery of electricity.
GRDA was one of 48 public power utilities to earn the Reliable Public Power Provider designation from the American Public Power Association for providing reliable and safe electric service. APPA made the announcement during its annual Engineering & Operations Technical Conference in Colorado Springs on April 1.
According to APPA, the RP3 designation, which lasts for three years, recognizes public power utilities that demonstrate 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.
“It is a great honor for GRDA to receive the RP3 designation because it recognizes organizational achievement in areas that we have made a priority over the last several years,” said GRDA President/Chief Executive Officer Dan Sullivan. “All of these areas are at the very heart of our mission and this recognition is a reflection of our dedicated workforce to achieve reliability for our customers.”
