Congrats, Paducah Power System! Proud of this municipal utility and of the role it plays in the KLC Utilities Partnership!

Congratulations to our staff for their work that led to three awards for Paducah Power System at the American Municipal Power, Inc. annual conference this week. We were recognized with a Public Power Community Engagement and Service honor for Christmas in the Park and an Employee Engagement and Workforce Advancement award for our AmpedUp program for high school students. We were also recognized with a System Improvement and Grid Resilience honor for our upgrades to our #6 substation. Our Technical Services Manager Jerry Puffenbarger led that project.

This kind of recognition only happens because of the dedication and hard work of our employees, and in the case of Christmas in the Park, all of the people in the community who help to make that event happen each year. We are proud.
