Collectively, the 27 LPPC utilities own more than 71,000 megawatts of generation capacity powered by natural gas, nuclear, coal, hydroelectric, wind, solar and other renewable energy sources.

Some LPPC members are fully integrated utilities that own generation, transmission and distribution facilities and sell directly to consumers. Others are primarily wholesale suppliers to municipal and cooperative utilities within their state or region. LPPC members provide good paying jobs to about 52,000 people across the U.S.

All states in the continental U.S., Alaska and Puerto Rico have public power systems. See our History for more information.

All of LPPC’s members are also members of the American Public Power Association. Through the LPPC, our members are also involved with the following organizations: Alliance to Save Energy (ASE), Alliance Commission on U.S. Transportation Sector Efficiency (the “50 by 50” Commission), Edison Electric Institute (EEI), Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI), Municipal Bonds for America, National Hydropower Association, National League of Cities, National Rural Electric Cooperative Association (NRECA), Nuclear Energy Institute, Public Finance Network, and The United States Conference of Mayors.
