Each year, public power utilities across the country celebrate Public Power Week, an opportunity to recognize the value of local focus and reliability. This year’s theme, “2,000 utilities: one purpose,” is especially meaningful to our utility as we reflect on our Mountain Strong community.

As many in our community continue to recover from the impacts of Hurricane Helene, we are grateful for the extraordinary efforts of our lineworkers and staff who worked tirelessly then, and continue to do so one year later. We are equally appreciative of our public power community. NRLP customers are always at the forefront of everything we do, and we know that when times get tough, they support our team with the same energy that our team brings — Mountain Strong energy. 

We hope you can join us in our celebration of the public power purpose: providing safe, reliable power, with our customers always in focus, to the community we have proudly served for 110 years.
