Powering Reliability
Roseville Electric Utility’s
primary goal is to provide highly reliable electricity for the benefit
of you, the residents and businesses in Roseville. When we work for you
our services go beyond the power grid.
Roseville Electric Utility
is one of the most reliable utilities in the nation. You don’t have to
worry about regular power outages. They only happen about once every 7
years. Because of this, we've been honored by PA Consulting with its
ReliabilityOne™ Award and in 2008; we received the RP3 Designation from
the American Public Power Association recognizing our high work force
standards, reliability and excellent customer service standards since
2005.
You can count on our reliability because Roseville Electric
Utility has a distribution system built on quality construction and
regular maintenance. And our Roseville Energy Park—a 160-megawatt
natural gas fired generation facility— truly lives up to its promise: to
provide a reliable supply of locally generated power at the best
possible price. Our natural gas fire plant generates enough energy to
meet 40 percent of all our needs, while the remainder of our energy come
from hydro, wind, solar and geothermal sources.
When it comes to
electric rates, customers of community-owned power utilities always
come out ahead. When compared to utility costs in neighboring Placer
County communities, Roseville Electric Utility customers have electrical
cost savings of about $20 million each year. That’s $20 million more to
spend at local stores, restaurants, the auto mall, movie theaters,
sports for kids, and other entertainment and recreation activities.
