Is the phrase "lauded for its stable power services" sound proper in English?

=================
The new company is lauded for its stable power services among the frustrations of the residents toward the old company's frequent blackouts due to aging equipment. But some experts caution that the new technology adopted by the former is still not time-honored and yet to prove itself in the long run.

How about 'against a backdrop of' instead of 'among'?

How about "time tested" instead of "time honoured"

It's OK, but it can't be lauded 'among the frustrations ...'

The feelings of disappointment about the old company are still lingering. And in this context, the new company's outstanding performance is especially impressive and evokes enthusiatic applauses from the residents.

The consumers' feelings of disappointment [STRIKE]about[/STRIKE] with the old company are still lingering (still lingers).

.

-We usually talk about consumers of utility supplies in general.
-The present tense is preferred to the present continuous.
-With impressive, outstanding is tautologous.
-I am not sure if the people actually clapped (applause).
