Power Factors

City Electrical Factors (CEF) is the UK's leading multi-channel electrical wholesaler, serving the industry since 1951. What started as Tom Mackie's first branch opened in a Coventry stable has grown into a nationwide network of over 390 branches, stocking more than 44,000 products from over 300 leading brands. We're proud to be the largest distributor of electrical products in the United Kingdom, offering everything from cables and accessories to EV charging solutions and power tools. Our growth is built on the trust our customers place in us, and we're committed to maintaining the values that have guided us for over 70 years: integrity, service, and hard work. Today, CEF continues to evolve, combining our deep industry expertise with digital innovation to better serve electricians, contractors, and tradespeople across the country. We're not just suppliers - we're your electrical experts, ready with friendly advice and support to help you get the job done.

We're a publicly-owned utility that's been part of Nebraska's fabric since 1970. Back then, three public power entities came together to form something stronger, and today we serve over 530,000 people across 84 counties. Our generation mix is as diverse as the communities we power - nuclear, coal, wind, water, and natural gas all play a role. This approach helps us keep rates 26.1% below the national average while maintaining steady wholesale rates for eight years running. What makes us different is who we answer to. An 11-member board elected by the people we serve calls the shots, not far-off shareholders chasing quarterly returns. This means we can make decisions that make sense for Nebraska's long-term future, whether that's keeping the lights on at a family farm during irrigation season or helping a manufacturing plant expand. Our team of 1,900-plus neighbors works around the clock because we live here too, and we understand that reliable electricity isn't just about power - it's about supporting the lives and businesses that make our communities thrive.

At Wabash Valley Power Alliance, we believe the cooperative model creates real strength through collaboration. Founded in 1963 by five Indiana electric distribution cooperatives, we've grown into the 17th largest generation and transmission electric cooperative in America, serving 23 member distribution co-ops across Illinois, Indiana, and Missouri. Our not-for-profit structure means we don't answer to shareholders - we answer to our members, who are also our owners. This deliberately different approach lets us focus on what matters: providing reliable, cost-effective power to more than 350,000 homes, schools, farms, and businesses while maintaining $1.3 billion in assets and earning an "A" credit rating. We're building a future that balances reliability with environmental responsibility. Our team operates 24/7 from our state-of-the-art Indianapolis headquarters, monitoring the energy grid and managing a diverse power supply portfolio that includes natural gas, coal, and renewables. We've developed a decarbonization strategy targeting 50% carbon reduction by 2031 and net zero by 2050. Through our POWER MOVES program, we've awarded over $32 million in incentives to help co-op members save energy and money. Our people thrive on solving complex challenges together - whether that's integrating edge-of-grid technologies, supporting economic development in our communities, or ensuring the lights always come on when our members flip the switch.

As the UK's biggest electricity distributor, we serve a quarter of the UK's population, keeping communities running and the lights on for millions of people every day. Our team of over 6,000 people works around the clock to maintain and upgrade our networks, respond to power cuts, and connect new homes and businesses. We're not just maintaining infrastructure - we're actively preparing for the future by enabling the transition to cleaner, greener energy and supporting the growing demand for electric vehicles and heat pumps. Through our regulated network business and our commercial services arm, we're committed to delivering reliable power while helping Britain reach net zero.

Platte River Power Authority exists to solve one of the most critical challenges of our time: how to provide safe, reliable, and financially sustainable energy while protecting our environment for future generations. Since 1973, this not-for-profit, community-owned utility has served the Colorado communities of Estes Park, Fort Collins, Longmont, and Loveland, delivering wholesale electric generation and transmission services that power over 350,000 residents. Today, Platte River is leading an ambitious transformation toward a noncarbon energy future, demonstrating that public power can successfully transition from traditional fossil fuel resources to clean energy while maintaining system reliability and affordability. With a generation portfolio spanning coal, wind, hydro, solar, and natural gas, Platte River is strategically diversifying its resources and investing in innovative technologies like the Rawhide Energy Station to create a more sustainable energy system that serves as a model for community-owned utilities nationwide.
