Mutual aid is at the heart of what public power does. At its core, it’s about neighbors helping neighbors—even if your “neighbor” is a sister utility hundreds (or thousands) of miles away.

The American Public Power Association’s Mutual Aid Commendation Program aims to recognize utilities that have answered the call for assistance and aided another utility in restoring power to its customers. Commendation nominations should be for mutual aid events in the past 12 months. Recipients will receive a letter, certificate and sample press release.

Public power utilities can receive funding and support to implement technology to improve their cybersecurity stance. The Cybersecurity Technology Assistance Program helps public power utilities to find a cybersecurity technology solution, match utilities with providers, and provide partial funding to deploy the technology. The program is administered through the American Public Power Association in cooperation with the U.S. Department of Energy.
