We are committed to delivering safe and reliable power to our customers every day. However, power outages can occur, and a major event such as a tornado, ice storm or even a wreck could disrupt utility services for an extended period. Backup generators can help provide safety and peace of mind should such an event occur.
As your trusted energy partner, Paris BPU is committed to helping our customers meet their utility needs at all times. Through our Generator Loan Program, we want to help our customers increase their safety and resilience in a power outage. The program allows Paris BPU to assist customers with the purchase and installation of a backup generator and transfer switch to safely power critical components in a home during an emergency.
