Groton Electric Light Department Wins Leadership Award

Our client Groton Electric Light Department has won the highest MMWEC award for showing exceptional leadership and for being the most innovative Municipal Electric Utility.

This award is named in honor of Francis H. “Frank” King, a founder of MMWEC, who served MMWEC as president, chief executive officer, gubernatorial appointee to the Board of Directors and president emeritus.

“This award recognizes exceptional leadership and dedication to public power joint action, demonstrated by a long-term commitment to the ideals of public power and the philosophy of MMWEC.”

As said during the awarding, “Groton has also been a leader in adapting to evolving technology and searching out new and more effective ways to manage their distribution system. This includes their early adoption of AMI across their distribution system, including to the residential level. They use this technology and the data gathered to effectively manage outages, asset replacement and upgrade projects.”
