As a community-owned utility, Lassen Municipal Utility District’s (LMUD) focus is on the people we serve. Through our Public Benefits Program, 2.85% of our retail energy sales is reinvested in our community. These funds are earmarked specifically for programs that directly benefit our customers.
Programs that are funded through Public Benefits include:
- Winter Energy Assistance Rate
- Emergency energy assistance
- Energy-efficiency rebates
- Community education
- Youth sponsorships and scholarships
In addition to the programs we offer our customers, we take pride in our community involvement. In the past year, you found us participating in local events, as well as our own.
In conjunction with Lassen Humane Society, we collected more than 500 pounds of pet food and treats with our Pet Treats for Lights pet food drive. We shared lunch with hundreds of customers at our 18th annual Customer Appreciation Celebration. During Public Power Week, we hosted a bakery takeover at Susanville Supermarket, where customers were treated to a free doughnut and hot beverage.
Our crews supported the community by lending a hand with the setup of the community Christmas tree and continued the decades-long tradition of hanging holiday lights across Main Street. They also volunteered their time and talents to honor our local servicemen and women by hanging Blue Star banners.
We partnered with the Lassen County Office of Education to provide materials and equipment for the first-ever egg drop at the annual Children’s Fair. Our management team attended meetings with local service clubs to keep key stakeholders up to date while gathering input from those we serve.
Living our core values of transparency, integrity, safety, teamwork, and sustainability is at the heart of all we do. LMUD is more than just an electric company. We continue to provide affordable energy even within California’s challenging energy landscape. We take pride in adding value to the community we serve, now and into the future.
