Pasadena Water and Power General Manager Phyllis Currie is this year’s recipient of the Alex Radin Distinguished Service Award granted by the American Public Power Association (APPA) as its way of recognizing her “exceptional leadership and dedication to public power.”

The award, named after APPA’s former executive director who served from 1951 up to 1986, is given annually to personalities who have served well in various capacities in the power industry.

In recognizing Currie, APPA, the service organization for the more than 2,000 community-owned electric utilities, acknowledged what it called her trademark style of engaging the community “so that it helps in striking a balance between aggressive power-generation goals and environmental protection objectives.”

As a direct result of Currie’s leadership, the APPA says Pasadena Water and Power “has been able to maintain high quality reliable electric service, offer competitive rates, and to build financial stability and a sustainable future for years to come.”

Before starting to work for Pasadena Water and Power in 2001, Currie worked for the city of Los Angeles for thirty years and was CFO of the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power.

Currie also served as board chairman of the American Public Power Association in 2012, and was also on the board of the Electric Power Research Institute.

She currently serves as president of the California Municipal Utilities Association and board member of the Southern California Public Power Authority.

Currie said she loves working for a community like Pasadena, where she said customers “realize the utility’s value, exercise civic responsibility, and get involved in issues and engage directly with their government.”
