Your community.
Your utility.
Your power.
Behind every light switch is a whole team. This week, we’re celebrating everyone at Michigan’s municipal utilities, the community-owned public power systems that keep your lights on.
Happy Public Power Week, Michigan.
Every utility has crews working 24/7, making sure the lights are on no matter the day of the week, the temperature or the time of day… and that deserves a big thank-you.
This week, we’re saying thank you to every public power utility across the state, and giving a special shout-out to the ones who train with us.
The crew raising the safety bar.
To our 10+ safety partners: thank you. Your crews train with Alpha Omega, and your commitment is raising the standard across your whole public power family. It’s a pretty great group to be part of.
Public power is 140+ years old.
It got its start in Wabash, Indiana, in 1880. Michigan’s own utilities have been at it for well over a century. Here’s how long a few of our partners have been powering their hometowns.
Ages as of 2026. Is your utility older? Hit reply and tell us.
Stronger together with MMEA.
