Our Purpose

Advancing Public Power

The Large Public Power Council (LPPC) unites and empowers the nation’s largest public power utilities to deliver reliable, affordable, and environmentally responsible electricity.

We achieve this by championing sound member-informed policies, providing trusted insights to policymakers and stakeholders, and fostering collaboration among members and with strategic partners to advance public power and the communities we serve.

Invested in Our Members’ Success

In 2025, LPPC strengthened public power collaboration and advocacy through more than 240 in-person and virtual meetings, 100 member surveys, and active engagement by more than 1,400 utility professionals across the country. This work advanced peer exchange on large loads and data centers, supply chain, safety, finance, cybersecurity, workforce, and grid operations, while supporting LPPC’s federal advocacy on permitting reform, disaster recovery, tax policy, reliability, and the infrastructure needed to meet growing electric demand.
