Atlantic Municipal Utilities is celebrating Public Power Week, October 5-11, along with more than 2,000 other community-owned, not-for-profit electric utilities that collectively provide electricity to 47 million Americans.

Reliable, safe, affordable electricity is what public power is about, and it’s what AMU delivers 24/7. Public power works because we are community-owned and governed by local decision-making, and staffed with 30 employees who care about the community and take pride in serving our friends and neighbors in Atlantic. Public Power Week celebrates AMU’s reliable, affordable electricity for our community and gives us the chance to emphasize the advantages of locally grown, locally owned power.

Knowing our community and its needs helps us keep homes, businesses, and public places powered year-round. As a not-for-profit public power utility, our loyalty is to our customers – not stockholders. We take pride in our appointed board of trustees, comprised of leaders from within the community. AMU has proudly served Atlantic and the surrounding rural area for over 124 years.
