#PublicPower is people power. In-kind services many public power utilities provide, such as installing holiday lights and maintaining ballpark lighting, save their communities thousands of dollars. In fact, the American Public Power Association (APPA) says public power’s financial contributions to state and local governments are 9% higher than those of investor-owned utilities. #CommunityPowered
