To safely and reliably provide affordable renewable energy to the communities
of Ketchikan and Saxman.
History: Ketchikan Public Utilities (KPU) welcomes you as a valued customer. KPU was
created in 1932 when the City of Ketchikan purchased the Citizen's Light and
Power Company, which first started delivering power to Ketchikan in 1903. KPU
is owned by the citizens of Ketchikan and makes every effort to be responsive to
the needs and desires of the community.
