Welcome to our Utility

New Richmond Utilities has been serving the customers of this area for over 100 years. Our goal is to provide essential services – electric, water, and sewer at the lowest possible cost with foremost reliability.

New Richmond Utilities is a member/owner of WPPI Energy. WPPI Energy supplies electricity to 51 member-utilities from a mix of resources, including generation owned by three WPPI Energy members. WPPI Energy also provides services ranging from marketing to joint purchasing. Our membership in WPPI Energy means increased efficiency and competitive services for our customers.

Here are a few of the benefits a community-owned utility offers:

Lowest Possible Rates: Because public power systems are non-profit, consumers pay only for the cost of services.

Money-Saving Efficiency: Government studies show that, on average, community-owned utilities have lower expenses than private power companies.

Local Control: Community ownership gives local citizens an active voice in policies affecting rates, services, and operations.

Community Service: Local utility programs are designed to meet the needs of our community, which help attract new business and industry.

Tax Payments and Other Contributions: New Richmond Utilities makes a substantial contribution to the City’s general fund each year in lieu of taxes. This contribution helps support other local services for community residents.

Community Involvement: The Utilities and its employees actively support local projects and causes, including scholarships for local students and educational programs for our schools.
