DOVER, Del. – For the third consecutive year, two Chesapeake Utilities Corporation (NYSE: CPK) subsidiaries have been recognized with Stars of Delaware awards by the Delaware State News. Chesapeake Utilities, the Company’s natural gas distribution system on the Delmarva Peninsula, was honored as the Best Company with Over 50 People and Best Energy Provider, and Sharp Energy, the Company’s propane distribution subsidiary, again received the award for Best Propane Company.
“It’s our goal to advance every community we serve through safe, reliable and efficient energy, but also through investing in local initiatives and organizations that align with our values; both with financial contributions and with volunteer efforts,” said Jeff Tietbohl, vice president, natural gas transmission and distribution operations. “It’s great to be recognized for being an integral part of those communities.”
“We’re honored to receive this award that reflects the views of those who matter most – our valued customers.

The Stars of Delaware awards celebrate and recognize the best Delaware has to offer. Each year, the contest receives thousands of reader nominations and subsequent votes. Winners were recognized at an event featuring a buffet dinner and live music on Sept. 1 at the Delaware State Fairgrounds’ open-air pavilion.
