CEC recently received an award for the successful completion of the 2022 RESAP assessment. Nancy Lendyak, CEC's Board President, accepted the award at the 2023 PREA/Allegheny Summer Meeting. 

RESAP, the Rural Electric Safety Achievement Program, is an NRECA safety evaluation program performed at each participating cooperative. The assessment consists of 17 inspection categories with 192 evaluation questions including operations, administration, building and grounds, fleet, safety equipment and personal protective equipment, and safety policies and procedures, to name a few. The RESAP evaluation occurs every three years on rotation and is performed unannounced by a group from PREA. The most recent evaluation performed at CEC was in July of 2022 where 170/192 assessment questions received satisfactory or above remarks! To aid in continuous advancement efforts, the Safety Committee conducts self-assessments of each evaluation area to identify areas of improvement and ensure compliance. 

As safety remains the number one priority for CEC employees, members and the community, CEC is proud to receive this award along with the high-performance score.
