OHIO EPA RECOGNIZES ELECTRIC DIVISION

FOR ENVIRONMENTAL EXCELLENCE

The Westerville Electric Division is among the first to be recognized by the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) Encouraging Environmental Excellence for Communities (E3C) program.

“Sustainability and energy efficiency are a major focus for the Westerville Electric Division. In addition to helping the environment and protecting resources, these programs make good financial sense, helping to keep energy costs low for residents,” said Electric Utility Manager Chris Monacelli. “It’s an honor to be recognized by the state for our work in this area.”

The utility team was named a “Stewardship Level” award winner for completing initiatives in environmental, economic and social categories. Specifically, the Ohio EPA recognized the Division’s implementation of energy efficiency programs, like the Nest Rush Hour Rewards Program, recycling programs, investment in electric vehicles and charging infrastructure and energy efficiency upgrades to City buildings.

The Westerville Electric Division has served the community since 1898. As a public power utility, the Division is frequently recognized as a top performer in the industry.
