The Value of Public Power

"Public power helps communities thrive.

There is tremendous value in public power, and it's so much bigger than just energy. It's the lifeblood that enables growth within communities, driving them towards progress, while helping them celebrate their rich histories.

It provides local control that allows them to prioritize local needs when making important decisions. It also connects them to the network of public power communities across the country, giving them a broad support system and access to greater resources than they would otherwise have on their own.

With access to these resources, public power communities pride themselves on delivering the exceptional reliability and superior service that their customers expect.

There is tremendous value in public power, and the best way to see that value is through the success stories of public power communities."
