Publicly-Owned Utilities
Publicly-owned utilities are nonprofit, owned by a community, and operated by
municipalities, counties, states, public power districts, or other public organizations.
Citizens have a say in decisions and policies about rates, services, generating fuels, the
environment. For more information about publicly-owned utilities, visit American Public Power Association.
Electric Cooperatives
Electric cooperatives are owned by the consumers they serve, and they seek new technologies and resources to keep their operations competitive. For more information about electric
cooperatives, visit the National Rural Electric Cooperative Association.
Federal Utilities
Federal utilities include the Tennessee Valley Authority, the U.S. Bureau of
Indian Affairs, Bonneville Power Administration, the Southeastern Power Administration, the Southwestern Power Administration, and the Western Area Power Administration. Federal electric utilities produce not-for-profit power and primarily sell it wholesale to other electric
utilities. Federal utility power is primarily generated by water resources, but also includes wind power.
