Keeping up with electrical power municipal and public utilities news and trends can help you find ways to save money on electricity and find alternative sources of energy. Electrical power municipal and public utilities are an alternative to private electric companies.
They are owned and operated either by the federal government, a state or a local organization that provides service to specific electrical municipalities. Getting electricity from public utilities has some advantages. They may provide more reliability and better customer service than a private company. Some companies and individuals may qualify for grants and subsidies available from a public utility.
High fuel costs and environmental concerns are changing the way local utilities and the energy industry, in general, operate. Many municipalities are working to reduce energy bills to apply the savings to other services. Renewable energy and conservation efforts affect the industry, companies and investors. To keep up with news and trends in the energy and industry and government utilities:
1. Check government utility organizations for news and developments;
2. Keep up with your local electrical provider's news and events;
3. Read about general industry trends and news;
4. Find about alternative and "green" energy developments.
Action Steps
The best contacts and resources to help you get it done
Find sources of information about local electric companies
Keep up with news about federal, state and municipal utility companies. Regular reading will keep you abreast of developments and activities at your local utility as well as give you a chance to compare it to other providers.
I recommend: Find news about publicly owned companies at the American Public Power Association (APPA), a service organization for more than 2,000 community-owned electric utilities. The organization publishes regular news stories and also provides an online newsletter. The Utility Connection provides links to federal, state and municipal agencies. Check individual websites for news for your area.
Find out how general industry news affects public utility services
Get general news provided by the energy and electric industry. Find out how events in the areas of deregulation, rates, environmental and other issues will affect your business.
I recommend: The PennWell website is a collaboration of two industry-leading publications: Electric Light & Power and Utility Automation & Engineering T&D. The site provides news on the electric industry. CyberTech's Energy Central is another site that provides electric industry news.
Research alternative energy solutions provided by local utility companies
Growing interest in the environment and conservation efforts have led many utilities to offer clean and renewable energy. Find out about new trends and developments in this area to determine whether your business could benefit from green energy.
I recommend: Clean Energy News provides information about news and trends in clean energy. Alternative Energy News offers the latest renewable and alternative energy headlines.
Tips & Tactics
Helpful advice for making the most of this Guide
- • In addition to being environmentally friendly, companies and individuals that use alternative energy sources can get tax breaks and other incentives. Check with your local public utility service to see what services are available.
Modern business and life revolve around the work of government utilities. In 2007, the U.S. generated an astounding 4.1 million gigawatt-hours (GWh) of energy. Of the companies that produce this power, 42.3% are investor-owned. Also, although coal provides nearly half of all our energy, some companies exist which provide power only from environmentally friendly sources.
Electric services come in a few categories: public utility services, which are large, government-owned companies that service a large electrical field; local electric companies, which cover specific electrical municipalities; and private utility companies, which have private investors and cover both the regional and local electric field. Use this guide to help you find:
1. Public, private, or local utility companies that service your area
2. Green public utility services that provide power without the pollution
3. Servicing company that aids your public utility service
Action Steps
The best contacts and resources to help you get it done
Find a state or local electric service provider to power your company
The difference between public and privately owned local electric companies is that the government provides a service, whereas private companies are businesses for profit. With that in mind, seek out a public utility service if your business needs a subsidized or specially adjusted rate of pricing.
I recommend: Find local utilities or investor-owned electric companies through The Utility Connection and Muninet Guide, respectively. The Energy Information Administration will connect you to public utility services specific to state. The American Public Power Association is the industry trade group for electrical power municipal and public utilities.
Conserve energy by working with a green public utility service
As fossil fuel depletion and environmental concerns continue to rise, many local electric companies now market themselves as environmentally friendly. Green companies use power sources such as solar, wind, hydroelectric and geothermal which can tap the Earth's renewable resources at no ecological cost.
I recommend: Green Mountain Energy offers clean energy solutions to commercial groups. The U.S. Department of Energy keeps track of utilities offering green pricing options in all 50 states.
Have a designer or inspector work with your public utility service company
If you run a government utility or a local electric service, public utility service companies can work with you on the job. They can do everything from designing your local electric field efficiently and cleanly to acquiring the correct government permits for construction.
I recommend: KCI Technologies can build, inspect, and otherwise service your electrical power municipal and public utilities. Solar Design offers green solutions to powering electrical municipalities.
Tips & Tactics

- • Save on your business' electric bills by keeping track of the small things. Unplug electronic devices when they are not in use, as most draw current even when they are switched off. An estimated 75% of the power used on an average electric bill comes from the time that devices should be off.
Electrical power municipal and public utilities employ those trained in electrical work to manage and repair local electric services. A local utility will have many electrical jobs available, including positions for electricians, power technicians, and those trained to work on outdoor electrical infrastructure.
Training for this type of job is required, and may either be acquired through vocational colleges or universities. Electrical power municipal and public utilities education and training can last from one year to more than four, depending on the position you want to attain. All local utility companies need employees who:
1. Earn certificates in local electric field services.
2. Earn a degree from a vocational school or university in electrical engineering.
3. Attend seminars and recertification programs to stay up to date on the latest safety and technology issues.
Action Steps
The best contacts and resources to help you get it done
Earn an electrical engineering degree to work for government utilities
There are many college courses you can take if you want to train for a career in electric utilities. Those who want to go in-depth with training that teaches design and advanced topics will need to work towards a four-year degree. Engineers working at a utility company can hold many positions, like designing or redesigning grids or finding solutions for problems in the system.
I recommend: Stanford University offers a comprehensive undergraduate degree in electrical engineering. Its program has basic classes as well as those built around designing electrical systems. The University of Washington also has an electrical engineering program where students can earn either a bachelor's or master's degree.
Take vocational courses to train for working with public utility services
If a four-year degree is not an option, you can find many courses in electrical work at community colleges and vocational schools. These courses are less expensive and will usually take half the time of a four-year program. These courses offer enough training to begin an apprenticeship at a utilities company, learning to install and repair power sources throughout the grid.
I recommend: Western Wyoming Community College provides credit courses and certificate training in basic electrical skills and electrical assembly. ECPI College of Technology offers an associate's degree for electrical engineering.
Choose training programs provided by power and electric organizations that work with local utilities
For those who are already working in the field of local utilities, there are opportunities for additional training. Many electrical and power organizations offer seminars, training programs and online resources to help you learn a new skill or try a new technology.
I recommend: The American Public Power Association provides in-house training programs for all positions within a public utilities company, including electricity basics, overhead systems and underground systems maintenance. The Northwest Public Power Association provides many online courses in electric, safety and lighting systems.
Tips & Tactics

- • Most electrical municipalities offer apprenticeship positions so those enrolled in a university or vocational program can get hands-on training. Working at a local electric service while in school will reinforce important concepts.
A public utility is owned and operated by non-profit governmental units, such as a municipality, cooperative or power marketing authority. Municipal utilities are run by local municipalities or counties. Cooperatives exist primarily in rural areas, where energy is purchased or generated and shared among members. Power marketing authorities buy and sell electricity to other entities. Get to know some of the key terms used in the industry when you need to deal with, or assist in the management of, municipal or public utilities.

Public Utility Commission
A Public Utility Commission (PUC) is a state agency that regulates utilities. It exercises control pricing, deals with service and price-related issues and responds to consumer complaints.
I recommend: See Construction WebLinks from Howrey for a list of Public Utility Commissions.
American Public Power Association
The American Public Power Association (APPA) serves community and municipal electric utilities in the United States. It's a non-profit organization that provides services and advocacy to its members, including news, information, training and events.
I recommend: See the American Public Power Association for more information about membership, services and news.
Municipalization
Municipalization occurs when a municipality or county takes ownership of an electric utility and becomes responsible for its operation.
I recommend: View more information about municipalization at the Alliant Energy website.
Electric utility power plant
An electric utility power plant is where electric energy is generated. It contains generators, movers and other equipment to turn chemical, nuclear or mechanical energy into electric power.
I recommend: Find more information about electric utility power plants on the United States Department of Energy website.
Wind power
Wind power is the process of turning wind energy into electrical energy. Wind turbines are housed at power plants throughout the nation.
I recommend: Visit The Department of Energy for more information about the science of wind power.
Green power
Green power marketing provides choices for consumers to purchase power from renewable energy sources like solar, hydropower, wind and others. Green power is sold to retail and wholesale customers in several states. Another service that encourages green power is green pricing. Customers who participate in green pricing pay additional charges as part of their electric bill to invest in renewable energy sources.
I recommend: Find more information on green power and green power marketing from the United States Environmental Protection Agency.
