Every time the lights come on, there’s a lot happening behind the scenes to make it feel effortless. At LES, that dependability is powered by a deep commitment to safety — one that recently earned national recognition. The American Public Power Association awarded LES the Safety Award of Excellence for 2025, recognizing us with the Diamond Award, the highest honor in our category.
Among more than 240 public power utilities across the country, LES stood out for exceptional safety performance, low incident rates and a culture where safety guides every decision. Based on OSHA-defined metrics and the strength of each utility’s safety programs and practices, this award reflects how LES employees consistently turn care into action, whether in the field or supporting operations behind the scenes.
For our customers, this recognition reinforces what you count on every day: reliable power delivered with care. As we recognize National Safety Month in June, it’s a timely reminder of the quiet dedication that helps keep our community powered safely and reliably.
