Public
Power Systems = Low Rates & Community Value
The mission of municipally owned electric utilities is to provide value to their
communities. This value premise makes public power systems fundamentally
different from all other electric utilities.
Municipal utilities are locally owned and managed, with rates and policies
set by city councils or citizen boards. On average, municipal utility rates
are among the lowest in the state. In addition, municipal utility revenues
stay in the local community, helping to keep other taxes lower. A portion
of these revenues are dedicated to fund general municipal services like
public safety, parks and libraries.
