Public Power Week

Join public power utilities across the U.S. in celebrating Public Power Week, October 4-10, and highlighting how utilities help customers and stakeholders understand how they can better engage with their community-owned utility and benefit from all its offerings. American Public Power Association is joining the festivities and sharing sample resources, templates, and more that member utilities can use to spread the word and help celebrate in your communities.

“Your Community. Your Utility. Your Power.”

How Utilities Can Participate

Public power utilities and organizations are encouraged to celebrate with their communities to highlight their commitment to customer service, helping people save money, and providing the most reliable service possible. Publicly owned utilities often find a range of special ways to gather their communities including parades, barbecues, festivals, bucket truck rides, safety demonstrations, community service projects, and customer appreciation events.
