NPU is a member of the American Public Power Association (APPA), a group of community-owned, not-for-profit public power utilities power homes and businesses in 2,000 communities across the U.S. — from small towns to large cities.
APPA members provide reliable, low-cost electricity to more than 49 million Americans, while protecting the environment. These utilities generate or buy electricity from diverse sources. Public power supports local commerce and jobs and invests back into the community.
NPU is also a member of the American Public Gas Association (APGA), an association for public and community-owned natural gas utilities with more than 700 members in 37 states.
The APGA is the only not-for-profit trade organization representing America’s publicly owned natural gas local distribution companies (LDCs). Through APGA, public gas systems work together to stay reliably informed about new developments in safety, public policy, operations, technology, and the marketplace that could affect the communities and consumers they serve.
