Celebrate Public Power Week!
October 4-10, 2026
Like more than 2,000 utilities across the country, we are powered by a community-owned, not-for-profit public power utility. During Public Power Week, we celebrate the benefits of living in a public power community.
Holland Energy Park Open House
Grab your broomstick and fly over to Holland Energy Park on October 8th from 5-7pm for a fun-filled evening of Halloween adventures. Explore the Visitor Center, collect candy and prizes along the 3/4 mile trail, and help track down some sneaky energy vampires! Other activities include:
- An up-close look at a BPW bucket truck and Fiber Van
- Dirt Lab - operate excavators, loaders, and dump trucks in a mobile construction site
- Coloring Contest
This event is free and registration is not required. Don't be an energy vampire - costumes are encouraged for children and adults alike!
This is an open house style event. Visitors are welcome to come any time beginning at 5pm. Trail and doors close at 7pm.
