October 4th-10th, we’re celebrating the benefits of having a publicly owned electric utility and what that means for our community. As a community-owned utility, our focus is right here at home — keeping the lights on and providing reliable, affordable electricity to our neighbors and local businesses.

So, why does public power matter?

🏡 Local Control – Decisions are made right here in our community, with our residents and local needs in mind.

💰 Keeping It Local – Revenue stays in the community and helps support improvements right here at home.

🔌 Reliable Service – Public power utilities provide reliable service and, on average, experience fewer and shorter outages than investor-owned utilities.

🤝 Neighbors Helping Neighbors – When storms roll through or another community needs a hand, our KPP Energy family steps up. Cities like Lucas, Ellinwood, and Clay Center have been there to lend a hand when it’s needed — and that’s what being part of a community is all about.
