Public Power Week 2025: October 5–11
Public Power Week 2025 is October 5–11! Each year, public power utilities across the U.S. celebrate during the first full week of October to help customers and stakeholders better understand the benefits of their community-owned utility - including affordable rates, reliable service, local control, and a strong community focus.
Pend Oreille PUD is proud to join more than 2,000 community-owned utilities nationwide in recognizing the value of public power.
