In addition, public power provides outstanding service. Unlike some of the private power companies that may even be owned by foreign investors or large conglomerates, you know where to find us when you need us. Your public power system is not a 1-800 call. They are just down the street from you if you have questions, suggestions, or comments about your service or how it operates. Ongoing decisions about service aren t made in some corporate boardroom located across the country or overseas.
Every citizen has an opportunity to help make decisions about electric service.
They are elected by you and are directly accountable to you for their actions. The availability of safe, reliable, and low-cost electricity is a major factor in a community s ability to attract and keep businesses, and help those businesses and individuals who work for them prosper. Public power is the best avenue for this. In public power communities, public power has always been the citizen s choice because it is the wisest choice economically for individuals and for the community as a whole. There are over 2000 communities across the country, and 12 across Wyoming, with a publicly owned electric utility that is a valuable community asset.
