OUC NAMED SOUTHEAST'S MOST
RELIABLE ELECTRIC UTILITY
Award From PA Consulting Group Highlights Importance of Electric Reliability 

PA Consulting Group, a leading management, systems and technology consulting firm, has named OUC—The Reliable One the most reliable electric utility in the southeastern United States. Regional winners were selected based on power-restoration performance and other reliability data.

"I am pleased that OUC has been recognized for having the best reliability in the Southeast," said Ken Ksionek, OUC's General Manager and CEO. "OUC has a long history of outstanding reliability and our employees work 24/7 to provide customers with the highest level of service."

OUC received PA Consulting's ReliabilityOne™ award in a ceremony held Nov. 15, in Miami. In addition to the best reliability, OUC also provides customers with some of the lowest rates in Florida. 

The award highlights the importance of reliability in the energy sector and recognizes companies best prepared to keep the lights on in times of unplanned crises. PA Consulting recognizes utilities that have delivered the very best reliability in the industry and taken extra steps to ensure that their reliability reporting processes are accurate.

PA Consulting Group operates from over 40 offices in more than 20 countries. The firm works with clients to improve performance, mobilize human resources and deliver change effectively, including managing major projects, and designing and implementing enterprise-wide systems and full e-business solutions.

In addition to the ReliabilityOne™ award, comparison data released by Florida’s Public Service Commission also shows that OUC ranks well ahead of Florida’s investor-owned utilities in key performance areas that measure overall electric reliability.

OUC also has earned Reliable Public Power ProviderTM recognition from the American Public Power Association for ranking among the top three percent of the nation’s 2,000 public power utilities. The only Florida utility to earn the designation, OUC was recognized for providing customers with the highest degree of reliable and safe electric service.

Establecida en 1923 por una ley especial de la Legislatura de Florida, OUC—The Reliable One es el segundo servicio público municipal más grande de Florida. OUC brinda servicios de energía eléctrica y agua a más de 196.000 clientes de Orlando, St. Cloud y de partes no incorporadas de los condados de Orange y Osceola.
