About

Who is Public Power?

Registered as Public Power LLC, Public Power uses this legal name for state public-utility-commission filings and customer contracts. The trading name on bills is the shorter, more recognisable form.

The company is headquartered in North Haven, CT, where it runs senior management, customer operations and regulatory liaison with state commissions.

Public Power was established in 2009. A longer track record means more years operating under state-commission rules and a wider history of customer feedback, billing and regulatory interactions.

Public Power operates independently — it is not part of a larger corporate group. This typically means faster decision-making but less wholesale-market scale.

Plan structure

What plan types does Public Power offer?

Fixed-rate electricity

Lock in a ¢/kWh unit rate for a 6, 12 or 24-month term to insulate yourself from market volatility.

Variable-rate electricity

Unit rate adjusts month-to-month with wholesale market prices. Usually cheaper at sign-up and common at fixed-plan renewal.

Green electricity

Fixed-rate plans matched with Renewable Energy Certificates (RECs). Small per-kWh premium over the standard fixed-rate plan.

Renewable content: Public Power offers green-energy plans backed by RECs. Always confirm the renewable percentage in the Terms of Service.

Frequently asked

Public Power — answers to common questions

Public Power is regulated by the public utility commission in each state where it operates. Reliability is best judged against your own usage profile: read recent reviews, confirm the customer-service hours match when you actually need to call, and compare the unit rate against the utility's price-to-compare for your zip code.

Plans can typically be enrolled directly on Public Power's website or by calling 1-888-354-4415. Before signing up, always compare the unit rate (¢/kWh for electricity, $/therm for gas) against your utility's price-to-compare for your zip code.

You can switch your retail supplier at any time, though early termination fees (typically $50-$200) may apply if you are on a fixed-rate plan and within the contract term. Check your enrollment letter or Terms of Service for the exact figure. Switching back to your default utility supply is always free.
