The Hannibal Board of Public Works participates in several offered programs by the American Public Power Association. The association advocates and advises on electricity policy, technology, trends, training, and operations for more than 2,000 public power utilities throughout the nation.
The Hannibal Board of Public Works RP3 team completed a rigorous online application that showed exemplary practice in four critical areas:
- Reliability
- Safety
- Workforce Development
- System Improvement
This HBPW RP3 team of employees was led by Jared Stewart, Electric Line Superintendent, and Courtney Harris, Administrative Support Specialist. Courtney was directly responsible for collecting all the data and submitting it to APPA for judging.
An 18-member panel of national public power experts scored our application and awarded the RP3 designation based on the extent to which we met program criteria. There are three levels of recognition a utility can earn (Gold, Platinum, Diamond), and this year, the Hannibal Board of Public Works has earned the second highest level of recognition a utility can earn – Platinum Level. The HBPW's RP3 designation is valid from May 2024 - April 2027.
