Who owns public power companies?

Public power companies are usually owned by local or regional government entities. This means they are operated as not-for-profit utilities, with oversight from local governing bodies such as city councils or public utility commissions. Their primary goal is to provide reliable and affordable electricity to their communities, rather than generating profit for shareholders, as is often the case with private utility companies. The governance structure can vary from one public power company to another, but typically they are accountable to the community they serve. Customers often have a say in their operation and can participate in decision-making processes through public meetings and feedback initiatives.
