The Dayton Power and Light Company (DP&L), a subsidiary of
The AES Corporation (NYSE: AES), was presented yesterday with the
Edison Electric Institute’s (EEI) “Emergency Assistance Award” for
its outstanding power restoration efforts after several nor’easters
hit New Jersey in March 2018.
The award is given to select EEI member companies to recognize
their outstanding response assisting other electric companies in
power restoration efforts after service has been disrupted by
severe weather conditions or other natural events. The winners are
chosen by a panel of judges following an international
nomination process. DP&L received the award during EEI’s
Annual Convention in San Diego.
“On behalf of DP&L, we are honored to be selected for the
EEI Emergency Assistance Award. We are proud of the dedication and
effort from our crews who worked long hours in difficult conditions
following multiple storms restoring service to our neighbors in
need,” said Craig Jackson, DP&L President and CEO.
Beginning March 1, consecutive severe nor’easters impacted the
East Coast and produced hurricane-force winds, more than three feet
of snow, white-out blizzard conditions, and coastal flooding in New
Jersey. DP&L sent 12 line workers more than 570 miles over the
course of 11 days to help replace poles, miles of wire, and replace
transformers to restore power to customers.
“Mutual assistance is a hallmark of the electric power industry.
When a disaster impacts a region, neighboring electric companies
quickly respond to assist,” said EEI President Tom Kuhn. “The work
of DP&L’s crews to restore power to customers impacted by these
nor’easters is a terrific example of mutual assistance in action
and our industry’s commitment to serving our customers.”
DP&L was also recognized by EEI earlier this year for
restoration efforts following Hurricane Irma, and in 2017 for
efforts and assistance restoring service to customers in both
Georgia and Florida after Hurricane Matthew.
