Your Power

We have a diverse mix of power supply, including hydropower, allowing us to provide excellent, reliable, and affordable electric service for Sioux Center’s citizens and businesses. 

The Electric Department ensures that power is safely and reliably delivered throughout the community at competitive rates. Currently we serve more than 2,620 electric customers. Being a community-owned utility means we are not for profit, led locally, and accountable to our community.

In addition to ensuring power delivery and maintaining the reliability of our system and substations, the Electric Department installs services for residential and commercial customers, monitors the electric load, trims trees, and repairs street lights for our community.

Your Energy Choices

A resilient and clean energy future is a priority for us as we serve you. A significant portion of our power supply mix is from hydroelectric generation. You may also be considering additional ways to improve your environmental impact. 

Load Management

We offer load management to keep the cost of electricity lower for customers and to avoid the cost and impact of building new electric generation to meat peak demands. Load management helps our community as a whole reduce the peak amount of electricity we use. Learn more about Load Management.

Bright Energy Choices

We offer a program that lets us and our customers support the development of additional carbon-free, renewable energy resources, called Bright Energy Choices. You can choose to participate in Bright Energy Choices, paying a small premium to contribute to the purchase of Renewable Energy Certificates to offset the portion of your energy that comes from fossil fuels. Learn more about Bright Energy Choices.
