Sharing the Value of Public Power
During Public Power Week each year, we celebrate the many hometown advantages of living in a public power community. As our communities persevere through the effects of the pandemic facing our country, our celebrations may look different this year. While we may not be able to gather together as we normally do, that doesn’t mean we can’t celebrate creatively. We encourage each of our public power communities to utilize this year’s theme (Dedicated to Service – The Power to Deliver) to help promote the many benefits of public power and celebrate Public Power Week with your customers.
From all of us at ElectriCities, we wish you a happy and safe #PublicPowerWeek!
