Happy Public Power Week!

Public power utilities across the U.S. celebrate Public Power Week the first full week of October every year to help customers and stakeholders understand how they can better engage with their community-owned utility and benefit from all its offerings.

Like public schools and libraries, public power utilities are owned by the community and run as a division of local government. These utilities are governed by a local city council or an elected or appointed board. Community citizens have a direct voice in utility decisions, including the rates it charges and its sources of electricity.

A community-owned utility

This week (October 6 – 12, 2024), we’re highlighting the power of community-owned utilities like ours! As a public utility, we’re committed to delivering reliable electricity, water and wastewater services to YOU, our neighbors.

We’re a nonprofit entity, so the focus is on serving our community, not shareholders. Our crews live here too and work around the clock to keep the lights on. NBU works hard behind the scenes and in the field to provide power to our community. Make sure to thank a lineman the next time you have an opportunity!
