Sharma retired from KUA on March 31 after 17 years of service.
"Ben Sharma’s contributions to KUA have been numerous, important and
enduring," said KUA president and general manager Jim Welsh. "This is a lasting
way for us to recognize his leadership and a fitting tribute to his many years
of service to our utility."

manufactured by General Electric. The unit began commercial operation on
January 1, 1995.
Founded in 1901, KUA (www.kua.com) is Florida 's sixth largest
community-owned utility providing electric and telecommunication services to
170,000 residents in five Central Florida counties.
