Social Responsibility at Our Core

As a local, not-for-profit, public utility we are committed to improving the lives of our customers and their communities. Our community and our environment are at the core of everything we do.

We do more than just deliver power, we support educational, economic, and environmental development and protection. We give back — from employee giving and volunteering to programs that assist our customers and their families, and we actively promote social justice to ensure equity in our rates, programs, and business.
