Welcome to Manitowoc Public Utilities

Our Mission: MPU is dedicated to providing customer-focused utility services

Our Vision: To be a community-owned regional utility that exceeds customer expectations

For over 100 years, community-owned Manitowoc Public Utilities has been a provider of utility services to the City of Manitowoc. MPU is one of the country's more than 2,000 public power utilities — a utility owned by the residents and the community it serves. During the last century, MPU has recognized its responsibility to provide reliable service, safe drinking water and environmental stewardship – all at a competitive cost.  MPU will continue to build on this foundation in the future. We are proud to be your locally owned and operated utility!

Community Solar Program

Are you interested? MPU is rolling out a new community solar program where our electric customers will have the opportunity to purchase solar panel generation from a solar garden in Manitowoc. This facility is being built off Hecker Road, just south of Viebahn Street, at an old gravel pit site. Customers will have the ability to purchase solar energy with no upfront investment, unlike traditional rooftop solar installs. To learn more about the program, or to express interest by joining our waiting list, check out the flyer here.

 

Refuel Renewable Project

Manitowoc Public Utilities (MPU) is celebrating one year of success on our power plant boiler refueling project. This project began in 2021 and entails refueling our two primarily fossil fuel-fired boilers to run exclusively on Wisconsin-recognized 100% renewable densified fuel pellets. These pellets are made from local non-economically-recyclable industrial paper and plastic waste that would otherwise be landfill-bound.
