Public Power Week: October 5-11, 2025

We want your story for Public Power Week!

Public power means more than just electricity. It’s local control, reliability, and reinvestment in our communities. From safe streets to strong schools, public power supports the things that make our hometowns great.

Heartland would like your voice to be part of the 2025 celebration.

Record a short video (10-30 seconds) on your phone or device answering one simple question: What does public power mean to you?

When recording, please include your name, city and job title with your municipality (if it applies).
