The Utilities are owned and controlled by the citizens of Auburn and, because they are not-for-profit, all the economic benefits produced at home stay at home. Local control gives the customers an active voice in policies affecting rates, service and operation.   For more information about Public Power click link below.

PUBLIC POWER

Public power means commitment to community service and local people working together to meet local needs. Auburn is one of almost 2,000 not-for-profit public power systems across the United States.

The  Auburn Municipal Power Plant is capable of covering the system's peak load. The BPW purchases power from Western Area Power Administration and Nebraska Public Power District.  BPW has long-term power contracts in place to ensure reliable supply and cost based rates.
