Electric

Welcome to Colby Public Power

The City of Colby has owned and operated a municipal power plant since 1910, with low rates benefiting all residents. The credit for the electric capacity and rates is due to the wisdom and foresight of the governing body in the early 1900's, and the continuing stewardship of later City Councils.
