BrilliT, a wholly owned subsidiary of Rappahannock Electric Cooperative (REC), has been named a 2026 POWER Best Places to Work, marking the second consecutive year the company has earned the industry workplace recognition.
POWER partners with Best Companies Group to recognize outstanding workplaces in the power industry. The selection process includes employer and employee surveys covering leadership, communication, benefits, work-life balance and professional development.
“This recognition reflects the culture BrilliT’s employees have built – one that is rooted in teamwork, collaboration and a shared commitment to excellence. That cooperative spirit is evident in the way the team supports one another while delivering exceptional cybersecurity, information technology and data analytics solutions to REC and other electric cooperatives,” said Peter Muhoro, Ph.D., REC’s Chief Strategy, Technology and Innovation Officer and Executive Vice President and General Manager of BrilliT.
BrilliT began as REC’s internal IT department and has grown to serve utilities beyond the Cooperative, combining industry knowledge with expertise in cybersecurity, infrastructure management and data analytics.
The POWER recognition is the latest workplace honor for BrilliT. Earlier this year, Virginia Business magazine ranked BrilliT No. 20 among small employers on its 2026 Best Places to Work in Virginia list.
BrilliT employees have also received industry recognition for their work in utility analytics. The Utility Analytics Institute has honored REC’s and BrilliT’s data and analytics professionals for their innovation and leadership in the field.
The 2026 POWER Best Places to Work honorees will be recognized Sept. 28 during Experience POWER in Washington, D.C. The winners will also be featured in the December issue of POWER magazine.
