Renewable, Reliable, Affordable Electricity for Ann Arbor

Ann Arbor for Public Power (A2P2) is an organization of local residents advocating for a 100% renewable, publicly owned electric utility for our city. Join us in the fight for a cleaner, more affordable future for Ann Arbor!

Ann Arbor for Public Power Launches Petition Drive for 2026 Ballot Proposal

A2P2 is collecting signatures for a November 2026 city ballot initiative. The initiative will determine if Ann Arbor will establish the governance structure for a municipal electric utility that would replace DTE.  A2P2 aims to collect 6,500 signatures of Ann Arbor voters to place the question on the ballot in November. If approved, a charter amendment would set elections for the public utility governing board in 2028.
