On April 23, OUC was named as a recipient of two 2023 Golden Brick Awards at a ceremony hosted by the Downtown Orlando Partnership (DOP). OUC’s community campaign commemorating the company’s 100th anniversary was recognized with an Award of Excellence. OUC’s Robinson ReCharge Mobility Hub was recognized with a Golden Brick Award of Sustainability & Resiliency.
The Award of Excellence stands as a testament to OUC’s year-long commemoration of its centennial anniversary, a vibrant community campaign that honored the company’s 100 years of providing reliable service as Orlando’s hometown utility.
The Award of Sustainability & Resiliency recognized innovative contributions of the Robinson ReCharge Mobility Hub. Conveniently located on Robinson Street near North Garland Avenue, between I-4 and the SunRail train tracks in downtown Orlando, the hub is the largest of its kind in Florida. The site includes six 240-kilowatt (kW) and 15 120kW Level 3-rated chargers capable of recharging all makes of EVs. Vehicles charge in about 20 minutes for at least 100 miles of range. Power Electronics, an OUC partner on the project, built and supplied the charging dispensers.
The Golden Brick Awards annually honor individuals, projects and initiatives that propel downtown Orlando toward a brighter, more sustainable future.
