CARROLLTON, OH, UNITED STATES, November 20, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- EthosEnergy and Advanced Power are proud to announce that Carroll County Energy has achieved the prestigious Voluntary Protection Program (VPP) Star certification from the U.S. Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA).

The VPP Star designation is OSHA’s highest level of recognition for exemplary safety and health management systems. This important designation is awarded to facilities that go beyond regulatory compliance by demonstrating a sustained commitment to preventing workplace injuries through employee engagement, safety culture and proactive hazard control. Only 0.02% of OSHA monitored sites achieve the VPP Star Status rating.

Carroll County Energy is a 700-megawatt (MW) combined-cycle generating facility that utilizes clean-burning U.S. natural gas to produce power for homes and businesses. Advanced Power manages the facility, located in Carrollton, Ohio, and Ethos Energy provides ongoing operations and maintenance services.

Achieving this milestone required significant preparation, whole workforce participation and a steadfast commitment to continuous improvement. It reflects both Ethos and Advanced Power’s deep-rooted and passionate commitment to safety excellence.

“The VPP Star certification represents an effort and commitment beyond just compliance— it’s a reflection of the start-to-finish safety culture our team lives every day,” said Iain O’Brien, Senior Vice President of Operations at EthosEnergy. “As our fifth site to achieve this recognition, it’s a testament to the outstanding leadership, dedication and culture of accountability the team has built on site. We’re proud to celebrate this with our partners; Advanced Power, Carroll County Energy and the local community.”

“This certification is a significant achievement that reflects the strong partnership between Advanced Power and EthosEnergy,” added Chuck Davis, President, Advanced Power Asset Management. “Creating a workplace where safety, reliability and performance intersect results in this type of outstanding outcome. Congratulations to the entire Caroll County Energy team – we look forward to building on this accomplishment.”
