MMED Recognized as a Reliable Public Service Provider
[April 8, 2024]— Mansfield Municipal Electric Department (MMED) has earned a Reliable Public Power Provider (RP3)® Platinum designation from the American Public Power Association for providing reliable and safe electric service.
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. MMED joins more than 245 public power utilities nationwide that hold the RP3 designation.
“Receiving an RP3 designation is a great honor signifying a utility has demonstrated commitment to industry best practices,” said Troy Adams, Chair of APPA’s RP3 Review Panel and General Manager at Manitowoc Public Utilities, Wisconsin. "And ultimately, the culture developed from this pursuit of excellence and continued improvement through the RP3 program results in measurable value delivered to the local community.”
“We couldn’t be prouder to be honored with this designation,” said Joseph M. Sollecito, General Manager of Mansfield Municipal Electric Department. “This is the culmination of a lot of work from many people who really care about powering our community. From the leadership of our Board of Commissioners, the dedication of the Mansfield Electric staff along with the entire Town of Mansfield community, there is a great cooperative effort for excellence. However, this designation is not our final destination. Mansfield Electric is committed to continue to look for ways to improve our operations and provide exceptional service to our customers in the future.”
