Berlin electricity designated as reliable provider

Berlin’s electricity has been named a “reliable public power provider” designation, according to city officials.

It’s also known as an RP3 designation, which comes from American Public Power Association.

Berlin Mayor Gee Williams says public power utilities have to meet four key principles in order to gain the recognition: reliability, safety, workforce development and system improvement.

This designation now lasts for three years.

Berlin Electric is one of 29 utilities that earned the designation this year.
