We are an association of Pennsylvania boroughs that deliver electric power to our residents. We believe that there are three key elements to being a successful public power system: local control, reliability, and positive community impact. Residents of boroughs served by public power systems are able to exercise far more control over their electric service provider than those served by large utilities, and they know that in the event of outages, the response will be timely since it will be coordinated locally. Most importantly, we believe in being responsible members of the communities we serve. Our employees are part of the communities they serve, and are extraordinarily dedicated to providing the highest levels of service to their neighbors.
PMEA Members Receive APPA Safety Award of Excellence
Two PMEA members were among the two hundred forty utilities to earn the American Public Power Association’s (APPA) Safety Award of Excellence for safe operating practices in 2025.
Chambersburg and Perkasie stood out in their respective categories among the more than 200 utilities from across the country which entered the annual Safety Awards. Entrants were placed in categories according to their number of worker-hours and ranked based on the incident-free records and overall state of their safety programs and culture during 2025. A utility’s incidence rate is based on its number of work-related reportable injuries or illnesses and the number of worker-hours during 2025, as defined by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA).
APPA has conducted the Safety Awards annually for more than sixty-eight years. A complete list of winners is available at www.PublicPower.org.
Congratulations to Chambersburg and Perkasie!
If you are without power, please contact your municipality directly.
