RP3 Program Certification
In April 2006, the American Public Power Association (APPA) awarded the Morristown Power System (MPS) with the Platinum Level certification of the RP3 Program for Reliable Public Power performance which benchmarks public power systems across the United States. MPS scored 98 of a possible 100 points in the evaluation indicating a very high rating when comparing MPS against other municipal power systems. The program evaluates utilities in four major areas: Reliability, Safety, Training and System Improvements. This recognition gives citizens of Morristown a reason to be proud of their local power company and an assurance that they live in an electric service area committed to reliable public power.
