Cybersecurity Remediation & Access Governance Modernization
Cybersecurity · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
A December 2025 cyberattack disrupted critical customer services for weeks—including bill payments, installations, and broadband support—exposing critical gaps in password-vaulting and access governance. Active compliance mandates and ongoing operational risk demand immediate remediation to restore service integrity and public trust.
The opportunity
The FY2027 budget cycle is active and the cyberattack has created an unbudgeted, urgent procurement need with no incumbent solution in place. Acting within the current 90-day window reduces continued compliance exposure and restores operational continuity for the communities served.
IT Infrastructure Modernization After Cyberattack
IT Modernization · Cybersecurity Remediation
High Priority
About this project
A December 2025 cyberattack exposed fragmented IT systems and disrupted critical customer-facing services for weeks, including bill payments and broadband support. Unified IT management and monitoring capabilities are needed to restore operational stability and reduce ongoing vulnerability across infrastructure.
The opportunity
The cyberattack creates immediate urgency for IT remediation ahead of the FY2027 budget cycle, with the Power Board's recent capital budget review signaling near-term spending capacity. Addressing fragmented systems now reduces operational risk, strengthens service continuity, and positions the organization for resilient, accountable infrastructure management.
Web Accessibility & Digital Services Compliance
ADA Compliance · Digital Services Modernization
High Priority
About this project
PES has a documented ADA website accessibility commitment, signaling confirmed compliance gaps across public-facing digital portals. These gaps create legal exposure and limit equitable access to essential customer services for the communities served.
The opportunity
An active ADA commitment establishes a defined compliance deadline, making this an actionable priority within the current planning cycle. Addressing accessibility gaps now reduces legal risk, improves public service delivery, and aligns with an ongoing digital services modernization initiative already underway.
Emergency Operations Planning & Public Alerting Modernization
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
Pulaski Electric System lacks a current Emergency Operations Plan and relies on fragmented public alerting channels misaligned with the county system, increasing vulnerability during severe weather and critical incidents. These gaps expose the organization to operational failure and coordination breakdowns when continuity matters most.
The opportunity
The FY2027 budget cycle and heightened organizational awareness following a recent cyberattack create a timely window to address well-documented preparedness gaps. Consolidating alerting infrastructure and formalizing an EOP now reduces operational risk and strengthens coordinated response for staff and the communities served.
Fleet Safety & Field Vehicle Telematics Pilot
Fleet Safety · Field Operations
High Priority
About this project
A January 2026 vehicle pole-strike incident exposed operational safety gaps for field crews, with no documented dash camera or telematics solution currently in place. The absence of driver behavior monitoring limits incident response capability and increases liability exposure for the utility.
The opportunity
Launching a telematics pilot now—ahead of further incidents—positions the organization to reduce operational risk and strengthen field crew accountability before FY2027 capital budgets are finalized. Proactive investment in fleet visibility supports both safety outcomes and long-term cost stewardship for ratepayers.
