The Power of a Public Utility

BPU is a publicly owned, municipal utility company. We are a not-for-profit utility, engaged in a partnership with the community for power and water distributed throughout our service area. BPU operates the utility as a community enterprise and allows citizens to take part in the process. BPU rates are competitive and viable reflecting the public service nature of our mission. This is how we have operated for more than 100 years.

As a public utility, BPU embraces the power of community:
