Value of Public Power
The City of New Richmond owns and operates its own local utility and has long been committed to helping make our community a great place to live and work. As a public power community, we are in the business of meeting customers’ needs and providing a higher level of service.
Local Ownership
New Richmond Utilities is dedicated to meeting our customers’ needs while helping to make the community a better place to live and work. We are one of the country’s 2,200 public power systems — a utility owned by the community it serves.
As a non-profit public power utility, we have one main purpose — to provide customers with the best services at the lowest possible cost.
Economic Development
We know that electric costs can be a significant part of your business’s operating budget. Community-owned utilities like us tend to have lower electric rates than nearby investor-owned utilities. Simply put, doing business here – in a public power community – just makes sense.
