American Public Power Association

The American Public Power Association is the voice of not-for-profit, community-owned utilities that power approximately 2,000 towns and cities nationwide. We represent public power before the federal government to protect the interests of the more than 55 million people that public power utilities serve across the United States and its territories. We advise on electricity policy, grid technology and operations, and workforce development in support of safe, modern, and resilient utilities.

In addition to community-owned utilities, our membership includes state/regional associations of utilities and joint action agencies that buy wholesale power and a host of products and services collectively for their members. Our membership also includes more than 200 companies that provide products and services to the electric utility industry.
