The Advantages of Public Power
Discover the Benefits of Community-Owned Energy
Choosing public power means choosing a community-focused, reliable, and affordable energy solution. At UMPA, we are committed to providing superior services while supporting local economies and promoting environmental stewardship. Learn more about how public power can benefit you and your community.
Locally Controlled
Public power utilities are community-owned and governed by local city councils or boards, giving citizens a direct voice in utility decisions, including rates and power sources.
Affordable
Public power utilities are not-for-profit and provide electricity at lower rates than private utilities, helping both homes and businesses save on their energy bills.
Reliable
Customers of public power utilities experience fewer outages and quicker service restoration, with an average annual downtime of 62 minutes compared to 150 minutes for private utility customers.
Community
Investment
Public power utilities reinvest in their communities through local programs, contributing 20% more in taxes, fees, and services compared to private utilities.
Environmentally Responsible
Public power utilities prioritize renewable energy sources like solar, water, and wind, with 40% of their power coming from non-carbon-emitting sources in 2019.
