Moreno Valley Utility Honored for Reliability

MORENO VALLEY>> Moreno Valley Utility recently received national recognition for achieving exceptional electric reliability during 2016. The American Public Power Association (APPA), a trade group in Washington, D.C. which represents more than 2,000 not-for-profit, community-owned electric utilities, honored Moreno Valley Utility (MVU) for its exceptional service. MVU customers experienced an average outage of less than 4 minutes in 2016, far shorter than the 70 minute averages posted by the top performing 25 percent of utilities across the nation. “This honor recognizes utilities that are thriving when it comes to reliability,” said Michael Hyland, APPA Senior Vice President of engineering services. APPA took MVU’s reliability data compiled through its eReliability Tracker Service and compared it to national reliability data collected by the Energy Information Administration, an independent agency that collects, analyzes and disseminates national energy data. Projects such as the completion of the Kitching Substation and installation of circuits which tie the electric system together will help to maintain the excellent reliability record of Moreno Valley Utility.
