We're Different! We're Looking Out For You!
Dawson Public Power District is different from other businesses you deal with. To tell you the truth, I like being different. And the fact that you’re reading this article shows you like that difference, too.
We’re different because we’re Looking Out for You. Now, more than ever, that’s important because we need to work together to keep your electric bills affordable.
Congress did not pass a comprehensive climate bill last year. In January the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency began regulating greenhouse gasses—an action made possible by a 2007 Supreme Court decision, followed by rulings allowing the EPA to use the Clean Air Act to curb carbon emissions. Policies dealing with coal ash and even more stringent controls on other power plant emissions could also lead to higher costs. It’s hard to predict the future, but one thing seems certain: government regulations are going to increase the cost of doing business.
New regulations won’t be the only culprit. Prices for fuel, materials, and equipment will continue to rise.
We’re committed to keeping you informed about policy changes that will impact your electric bill through channels like the Rural Electric Nebraskan and the Dawson Dynamo (customer newsletter), FaceBook and this blog. We’re going to do everything we can to keep your electric bills affordable.
To accomplish that, we’re controlling costs through innovation. Our energy efficiency programs like incentives for improving energy efficiency in your home or business and online home energy audits to help you manage your energy use.
Nationally, public power districts are meeting customers’ power needs with a diverse fuel mix, including renewable energy.
While we’re affordable and innovative, above all else we’re customer focused. No matter what comes our way we’ll continue to put you, our customers, first. Dawson PPD is controlled by an elected board of directors and locally operated. As a customer, you have a voice in how your public power distric operates. You have the opportunity to vote in the general election for the board members that represent you.
Customer control means we are accountable to those we serve. Costs are rising for all of us, but when it comes to your electric bill our rates are set simply to cover the cost of doing business, not to generate profits for distant stockholders.
The bottom line? We exist only to serve you and meet your needs for safe, reliable, and affordable power.
As you can see, we’re different. We’re working together to keep your electric bills affordable. We’re controlling costs through innovation. And we’re continuing to put you, our customers, first. No matter what the future brings, one thing is certain. We’re Looking Out for You.
