Moorhead Public Service (MPS) is celebrating Public Power Week, October 7-13, 2018, along with more than 2,000 other community-owned, not-for-profit electric utilities that collectively provide electricity to 49 million Americans.

“Public Power Week celebrates the reliable, affordable electricity that Moorhead Public Service provides to our community,” said MPS’ General Manager Bill Schwandt. “Public power puts the people of Moorhead first, and Public Power Week gives us the chance to emphasize the advantages of locally grown, locally owned power to our citizens.”

“Our service is reliable and safe and we take pride in serving our friends and neighbors,” said Schwandt. “Moorhead Public Service is proud to have served Moorhead for over 120 years.”
