All utilities operating electric delivery networks in North America are eligible for consideration for the ReliabilityOne(TM) award. There are a total of five regional awards including Northeast, Mid-Atlantic, Midwest, Plains, and West; and one to a community utility. The selection of provisional recipients is based primarily on system reliability statistics that measure the frequency and duration of customer outages. After provisional recipients are selected, each company undergoes an on-site certification process, which provides an independent review and confirmation of the policies, processes and systems used to collect, analyze and report a company's reliability results.

"Con Edison represents an outstanding group of award recipients from across the country," said Jeff Lewis, PA's ReliabilityOne(TM) Program Director. "Con Edison has distinguished itself for its commitment to delivering outstanding reliability to customers in a manner which shows that they have really sharpened their focus towards setting the bar for industry performance."
