Reedy Creek Energy Services
Reedy Creek Energy Services (RCES) is a wholly owned subsidiary of The Walt Disney Company. It provides electric power to the Reedy Creek Improvement District (RCID), which specifically covers Walt Disney World outside of Orlando, Florida, by supplementing the public power grid.
In addition to electric power, RCES handles all public services and public works for the RCID:[1]
- Electric
- Hot water
- Chilled water
- Natural gas
- Fuel oil distribution
- Potable water (drinking)
- Sewage and wastewater treatment
- Solid waste
- Reclaimed water
- Recycling and drainage control
- Roadway maintenance
RCES is currently Disney's only non-entertainment-related subsidiary; until 2001, Disney and Sprint owned Vista-United Telecommunications, a telephone company that served the RCID; that company has since been sold to Smart City Telecom.
