ElectriCities of NC

As #PublicPower providers, one of our strategic priorities is customer-centered innovation. 🌐 Our member communities are always looking for better ways to serve their customers. Being locally-owned & operated means that innovation is an investment back into their own community.

#PublicPower is people power. ⚡ In-kind services many #NCPublicPower utilities provide, such as installing holiday lights and maintaining ballpark lighting, save their communities thousands of dollars.

.@ElectriCitiesNC on May 20 announced that the North Carolina Municipal Power Agency Number 1 (NCMPA1) extended its power supply contracts through 2043, preserving power supply for the 19 #PublicPower communities and customers that make up NCMPA1. Details: ow.ly/z2ov50Z2OjX

Happy #NationalPublicWorksWeek! 🦺 The employees of our #PublicPower member utilities have dedicated their careers to serving their communities. All superheroes don’t wear capes, but a lot of them work at your local utility!

When it comes to #PublicPower, just like your family, each of us plays a part. 💡 The people on the line or on the phone, making sure that when you flip the switch, you have safe, reliable energy powering whatever you do.

An energy audit can help you #SaveEnergy & lower your home's energy bill. ⚡🏠 Energy auditors will visit your home & help you find the most cost-effective ways to lower your energy costs. Call your local #PublicPower utility today & ask if they provide home energy audits!

Temperatures are rising; it’s getting hotter & hotter! 🌡️ Remember it’s more #EnergyEfficient to turn on a ceiling fan instead of your AC. A ceiling fan can lower the temperature in your room by 4 degrees & uses a fraction of the energy most AC systems use!

Safety, reliability, local focus, affordability, collaboration, & innovation. Six values that serve as a guiding light in #PublicPower! ⚡ Our member utilities are devoted to keeping these values at the forefront of their work at all times.

Happy #MothersDay! 🫶 We’d like to give a special shoutout to the mothers in our member communities. We LOVE our mothers. Their natural dedication to family, reliability, and strength are an inspiration to how we member utilities serve their communities as #PublicPower providers!

Don’t forget to change those air filters! 🌬️ Dirty filters make your HVAC unit work up to 15% harder. That means it uses more energy to get results, ending in a higher bill for you! Ditch the dirty filter and swap it for a fresh, clean one each month or every season. #EnergyTips
