Large Public Power Council

What Large Public Power Council does

Large Public Power Council (LPPC) is a Washington, DC-based 501(c)(6) non-profit trade association founded in 1987 that exclusively represents 29 of the nation's largest consumer-owned (municipal, public utility district, and state-authority) electric utilities operating across 23 states and territories. LPPC's member utilities collectively serve 30.5 million end-use customers, manage 80 GW of current generation capacity projected to grow to 129 GW by 2030, operate 46,373 high-voltage circuit transmission miles (rising to 50,223 by 2036), and are planning $166 billion in infrastructure investments over the next decade — an 84% increase over the $97 billion spent during 2015–2025. Members currently supply 18% of U.S. AI/data center load and are projected to handle 36% of new AI/Data Center interconnections through 2030.

LPPC's core service is federal policy advocacy and peer coordination on issues uniquely affecting large public power systems — including Section 201(f) protections under the Federal Power Act, FEMA disaster reimbursement reform, federal permitting reform, Treasury private-use rules for tax-exempt financing, FERC interconnection and transmission planning, cybersecurity, workforce, and grid modernization for AI/data center load growth. Its product surface consists of policy research reports (FEMA Reform, Permitting Reform, Private Business Use), an Interactive Data Map tool, an "LPPC News Alerts" newsletter, the "Tom Talk" podcast series, and in-person/virtual convenings — 240+ meetings and 100+ member surveys in 2025, engaging more than 1,400 utility professionals. LPPC also coordinates joint advocacy coalitions with APPA, NRECA, EEI, and ad hoc policy groups (Coalition for Derivatives End-Users, Americans for a Clean Energy Grid) and facilitates cross-utility technology initiatives such as the NPPD/OPPD/LES/GRDA advanced nuclear exploration.

LPPC's revenue model is membership-dues-based recurring funding from its 29 enterprise utility members; specific dues levels are not publicly disclosed. The organization operates with a small staff (11–50 employees) and is governed by its member utilities rather than external equity holders. Its go-to-market is sales-led membership engagement: recruitment occurs by invitation to qualifying large public power systems, with retention driven by direct advocacy representation, peer collaboration forums, CEO meetings, surveys, and coordination on federal regulatory matters. Distribution is single-country/domestic through direct membership engagement and federal advocacy representation before Congress, FERC, FEMA, EPA, and Treasury.
