![CITY OF WAPAKONETA RECOGNIZED FOR RELIABLE ELECTRIC SERVICE TO THE COMMUNITY [Wapakoneta, Ohio] - [03/26/2025] - The City of Wapakoneta has received national recognition for achieving exceptional electric reliability in 2024. The recognition comes from the American Public Power Association (APPA), a trade group that represents more than 2,000 not-for-profit, community-owned electric utilities. APPA helps electric utilities track power outage and restoration data through its subscription-based eReliability Tracker service. Once per year, APPA's Reliability Team compares this data to national statistics tracked by the U.S. Energy Information Administration for all types of electric utilities. "Year after year, data consistently demonstrate public power utilities provide highly reliable service." said APPA Director of Research and Development Paul Zummo. "The utilities recognized here are truly elite when it comes to keeping the lights on. Their communities should be proud of the hard work and dedication of their local power providers as they earn this truly deserved recognition." Nationwide, the average public power customer has their lights out for less than half the amount of time that customers of other types of utilities do. "We are proud to receive this recognition. It is a testament to the hard work of all our staff to ensure that we keep Wapakoneta powered," said Levi Cecil, Electric Superintendent at City of Wapakoneta. The City of Wapakoneta is in the top quartile (25%) of utilities for System Average Interruption Duration Index (SAIDI) including or excluding IEEE MEDs based on the ElA data in 2019-2023.
