Member cities can boost their buying power by participating in Power Partners, a joint purchasing program for electric utility materials through YourGovShop. By pooling purchases for specific electric materials for distribution systems, member cities can get better rates.
Joint purchasing items include utility poles, transformers, wire, cross-arms, cutouts, meters, arrestors, streetlights, hardware, insulators and other items used in the normal operation and maintenance of the electric distribution system. There are also non-electric items available for joint purchasing.
