THE Commonwealth Utilities Corporation celebrates American Public Power Week on Oct. 2-8, 2022, along with more than 2,000 other community-powered, not-for-profit electric utilities that collectively provide electricity to 49 million Americans.
“This year, we are focusing on educating the next generation of CUC customers on the benefits of public power,” said Gary Camacho, executive director of CUC.
“We are so proud to provide reliable, affordable, and sustainable power to the CNMI,” he said. “We hope that young people in our community and their families acknowledge this vital service and maybe even look to the utility as a good place to work down the road.”
He added, “Since we operate right here in the CNMI and serve our friends and neighbors, we care a great deal about things like customer service, helping folks save energy and money, and keeping the community safe. We are proud of the work we do in the CNMI “
This year CUC will be bringing back presentations to elementary schools regarding conservation, tips, and other important information.
A non-profit autonomous agency of the CNMI government, CUC is responsible for providing power, water and sewer services to the three main islands of Saipan. Tinian, and Rota. Presently, Saipan is the only island where CUC provides wastewater treatment services.
