The Bowling Green Electric Division was honored for its achievements throughout the past year during the 2026 American Municipal Power annual conference. The utility was commended for its participation in AMP’s Mutual Aid Program in recognition of the mutual aid assistance it provided to the city of Franklin, Virginia.

“When communities face major outage events, the willingness of our members to step forward and assist makes a meaningful difference,” said Michelle L. Palmer, PE, AMP vice president of technical services and compliance. “We are proud to recognize the dedicated crews and utilities that answered the call to assist their fellow public power communities this year.”

The AMP annual conference took place Oct. 12-14 in Columbus. The event featured presentations and panel discussions by industry experts and speakers from AMP partner organizations.
