Together, public power advocates are a powerful force. As community-owned entities, each of the approximately 2,000 public power utilities across the U.S. encompasses not just utility leaders, but mayors, city council members, utility commissioners, and the businesses and people in each community.
The 54 million people served by public power are spread across 335 congressional districts
- 77% of representatives have at least one public power utility in their district.
- Plus, five of the non-voting delegates to the house, representing Puerto Rico, Guam, the U.S. Virgin Islands, American Samoa, and the Mariana Islands, have all their constituents served by public power.
- With public power in every state except Hawaii, 48 senators have constituents served by public power.
- With nearly 3.4 million, California has the highest number of people served by public power of any state.
