Westerville Electric Division Up for National Recognition

The American Municipal Power (AMP) Board of Directors is recognizing the Westerville Electric Division for its commitment to the community through a national award nomination.

The American Public Power Association (APPA) Sue Kelly Community Service Award is presented to utilities that improve quality of life through programs and activities that help involve employees. The award also acknowledges systems that meet community needs, as well as enhance the social, cultural, economic and educational environment.

“Our team has rooted its identity in providing reliable, high-quality electric services to residents and businesses, as well as being a leader of sustainable programs and making them accessible to all,” said Electric Utility Manager Chris Monacelli. “It truly is an honor to be considered for such a prestigious award and recognized for this work we love to do.”

In its nomination, AMP cited the impact of the City’s March 2020 Utility Bill Holiday, public electric vehicle charging stations and popular drop-off recycling programs as impactful, neighborly actions.

As a community-owned power utility, the Westerville Electric Division has provided affordable and reliable electric services since 1898.

The winner of the 2022 Sue Kelly Community Service Award will be announced at APPA’s National Conference in June.Visit www.westerville.org/electric for more information about the Westerville Electric Division.
