Muscatine is blessed with thriving businesses and industry.  MPW powers each of them, as well as all the residents in our community.  We invest in reliability to help keep your electric rates competitive.

Electricity Rates

Great reliability does not cost more

Renewable Energy

Reliable, safe, and cost-effective electrical service

By continuing to be responsive to our community’s interests in diversifying our generation of energy through investments in renewable energy sources, we’ve been able to respond by providing sustainable benefits and programs without a significant negative rate impact to our customers. In 2016, MPW began incorporating renewables—wind—into our power portfolio with energy produced by the 13MW South Fork Wind Farm. Our newest planned venture in renewables, a 30 MW solar array, will be installed at our Grandview Avenue Wellfield.
