Electric Utility

The City of Pratt has operated a Municipal Electric Utility since 1910. The ability to generate electricity through 2 power plants helps to provide power to citizens in and around Pratt, covering a 36 mile radius.

Low Cost Energy

In order to provide electricity at the lowest possible cost, the City of Pratt has entered into agreements to purchase power at reduced costs while maintaining the ability to generate in times of need. The City of Pratt is currently working with 9 other cities on an Energy Management Project for combined benefits of purchasing and producing electricity.

The electrical system consists of 11 circuits which are maintained by the City Electrical Distribution department.

Electricity Payments

The system bills customers monthly on an individual basis. Monthly payment is expected of all customers by the due date on the statement. Delinquent customers will be sent a notice of termination. If payment is not received, termination will follow.
