Lowell Light & Power Holding Contests and More for Public Power Week

We received the following press release from Lowell Light & Power.

 

Lowell Light & Power (LL&P) is celebrating Public Power Week, Oct. 3-8, along with more than 2,000 other community-powered, not-for-profit electric utilities that collectively provide electricity to 49 million Americans.

“This year, we are focusing on educating the next generation of Lowell Light & Power customers on the benefits of public power,” said Lowell Light & Power General Manager Charlie West. “We are so proud to provide reliable, affordable, and sustainable power to Lowell,” said West. “We hope that young people in our community and their families acknowledge this vital service and maybe even look to the utility as a good place to work down the road.”

“Since we operate right here in Lowell and serve our friends and neighbors, we care a great deal about things like customer service, helping folks save energy and money, and keeping the community safe,” said West. “We are proud of the work we do in these areas.”
