& POWER
Bay City Electric, Light & Power
(BCELP) is a municipal utility, owned by the City of Bay City,
Michigan. We strive to offer value to our customers by providing
reliable service at a competitive price.
BCELP has served the Bay City area since 1868
when it was known as the Bay City Gas Light Company. Today we serve
over 20,000 customers in our
service area which includes Bay
City and the surrounding townships of Bangor,
Frankenlust, Hampton, Monitor, and Portsmouth. The
utility is one of 2,000 community owned electric utilities that serves more
than 42 million Americans.
Delivering service to our customers
requires more than 500 miles of overhead and underground distribution
lines, fed from 10 distribution substations. Power is provided to
these facilities from wholesale purchases, ownership of coal-fired
generators Belle
River and Campbell
through the Michigan Public Power Agency, and local peak-shaving generating
capacity at our Water Street
and Henry Street
plants.
At year-end, Bay City Electric, Light
& Power owned and operated utility assets of $64 million with total
annual revenues of approximately $25.6 million. BCELP currently has 44
employees to carryout the day to day operations of the utility including
line construction and maintenance, line clearance, street light
maintenance, generating plant operation and maintenance, metering
installation and maintenance, service building upkeep, purchasing materials
and supplies, and system planning functions.
