UtilitySafe to Power PPL Compliance Program
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:
ATLANTA- July 23, 2010 -PPL Corporation (PPL) is the latest electric company to join UtilitySafe – a
unique service from e-VERIFILE.COM Inc. that assists companies that must comply with NERC Critical
Infrastructure Protection (CIP) standards with workforce screening, training and cyber security awareness.
PPL is the second electric company to utilize the service since it was launched a few months ago.
Headquartered in Allentown, Pa., PPL owns or controls nearly 12,000 megawatts of generating capacity in
the United States, sells energy in key U.S. markets and delivers electricity to about 4 million customers in
Pennsylvania and the United Kingdom.
“UtilitySafe will relieve PPL from the burden of internally tracking our CIP contractors’ compliance to several
of the CIP personnel and training requirements contained in Standard CIP-004,” says PPL’s Sr. Director-
FERC/NERC Compliance, Robert E. Hoopes.
UtilitySafe facilitates routine workplace management processes through programs that organizations can
create and implement via the system. Organizations can register their contractors, administer compliance
training/testing, require personnel background checks and more through each program. The entire process is
managed from one web-based platform which is accessible via utilitysafe.com. The service requires no
additional software or equipment and can be securely accessed from any PC.
“e-VERIFILE is pleased to offer an all-in-one solution that helps electric companies like PPL mitigate risk and
manage their routine workforce compliance tasks. Compliance is often a labor intensive process that
requires attention to detail, and our programs are specifically designed to make that process seamless and
cost effective,” says Priya Wijesinghe, e-VERIFILE’s VP of Sales.
