Public electric utilities play a vital role in delivering reliable, affordable energy to communities, but maintaining and expanding infrastructure requires thoughtful capital funding strategies. This webinar introduces the fundamentals of capital financing, funding, and contribution models in the not-for-profit electric utility sector. The session will cover how utilities plan for long-term investments and secure funding through debt issuance, grants, rates, fees, and internal reserves. Participants will explore key concepts such as capital improvement planning, bond financing, rate-supported debt, and the role of governing boards and public accountability. The session will also highlight how financial decisions align with utility goals like grid modernization, sustainability, and resilience.
