OPPD State of the Utility Moved Online to OPPDListens.com

We want to update you on our recently planned State of the Utility presentations. Now, more than ever, OPPD understands the importance of connecting with the customers and communities we serve. In March, OPPD had planned for in-person meetings throughout our service territory to share how your public utility has been working hard for you and what lies ahead.

When COVID-19 impacted our region, as you know, so much changed. OPPD always works to ensure reliability, and our focus is keeping our customers connected. We know our customers may not be thinking about us right now, but we’ve been thinking about you. It’s important we keep our customers connected to work, their children’s school and to loved ones far away. And we hope this provides you the peace of mind you need to focus on the health and safety of your families.

We want to thank you for your patience as we adjusted our plans. Due to social distancing and restrictions on public gatherings, our in-person meetings have moved to an online format.  A presentation, feedback form and materials can be found at OPPDListens.com. Please navigate through the information and provide feedback at your leisure. We will be accepting feedback through May 31, and your input is important to us. There are exciting things happening at OPPD and we’re happy to update you on economic development efforts, grant-funded initiatives, utility-scale solar, and our planning for pathways to decarbonization, among other accomplishments.

OPPD is committed to stakeholder outreach and meaningful ways for customers to provide feedback on many initiatives, including Power with Purpose: adding utility scale solar with natural gas backup to our generation portfolio. Thank you for engaging with us along our Power with Purpose journey, which began in October 2019. This is a multi-phase project and OPPD will continue to engage customers and stakeholders along the way.

We encourage you to share this information with family, friends, your communities and your organizations.

Thank you again, and we look forward to your feedback.
