Each year, more than 2,000 community-owned utilities, like Sturgeon Bay Utilities, across the nation observe Public Power Week during the first full week of October. Public Power Week is a celebration of these not-for-profit electric utilities that proudly serve the electric power needs of about 40 million Americans - or almost 15 percent of electricity consumers.
Every public power system is different due to its community's population, geography, climate, natural resources, economy, and local government structure. However, all public power systems have in common their purpose: to provide reliable, energy at a reasonable price with proper protection of the environment.
Sturgeon Bay Utilities will celebrate the importance of public power during Public Power Week the first full week of October. Please check back periodically for more information on this event.
